Italy's Government
The president of Italy is elected to a seven-year term by both houses of Parliament and a small number of regional representatives. The president must be at least 50 years old. The president is the commander of the Italian armed forces, and can declare war. Italy has no vice president. If the president of Italy becomes ill, the president of the Italian Senate takes over the office. If the president dies, a presidential election is held.
The prime minister determines national policy and is the most important person in the Italian government. The prime minister is selected by the president and must be approved by Parliament.
All judges of Italian courts are appointed, instead than elected. Except for the 15 judges of the Constitutional Court, Italian judges earn their appointments. All courts operate under the national ministry of justice and a panel of judges called the Superior Council of the Judiciary. The Constitutional Court, the highest court in Italy, can declare acts of Parliament illegal.
