Resolution
A resolution is in the legal language of Austria an act that is set by the highest authorities, including to the other within the separation of powers . There are two forms, the resolution of the Federal President and the resolution of the National Council or the resolution of the Federal Council .
The term goes back to the imperial resolution , one of the forms of legislative expressions of will of the monarch in the Habsburg monarchy .
Resolution of the Federal President
Most of the functions of this office are carried out through a resolution by the Federal President as part of the executive branch , such as the appointment of the federal government (control of the administrative), the dissolution of the National Council (control of parliamentarism), the authentication of laws (control of government and legislature) , the granting of pardons (interference in the judiciary), but also completely independent powers such as the award of honorary titles .
Most of the Federal President's resolutions require a proposal from the Federal Government or a Federal Minister, and the countersignature of the Federal Chancellor or a Federal Minister.
Parliamentary resolution
In addition, the National Council and the Federal Council also have the right to express wishes to the Federal Government about the exercise of the execution in the form of resolutions (parliamentary resolution ) . They are an instrument of parliamentary control over the federal government, in which measures are demanded that the parliament as a legislature cannot adopt, for example because they cannot be dealt with in the form of a law or as a request to present or amend a draft law .
