Appointing judges by the President of the Republic of Poland has been regulated in the Polish Constitution as one of the essential powers of the Head of State. It is therefore that “necessary power” to ensure the continuity of the functioning of the judiciary. The procedure for the appointment for the office of a judge of the Supreme Court or the Supreme Administrative Court also includes the announcement by the President of the Republic of Poland about the judge vacancies in the Supreme Court or the Supreme Administrative Court. On the occasion of the characteristics of the very act of announcement, also the question of the requirement for the President of the Republic to obtain a countersignature from the President of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister) arises. The literal wording of Art. 144, sect. 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland seems to prejudge that all official acts of the President of the Republic, except those referred to in Art. 144, sect. 3 of the Constitution, require the signature of the President of the Council of Ministers to be valid. Although these rules seem quite clear at the level of the linguistic analysis of the provision in question, their practical application raises serious doubts.
