It guarantees the separation of powers and dedicates 18 articles to the rights and duties of the citizens. The Presidential power is comparatively exorbitant. It provides for the possibility of the National Assembly being dissolved by the President of the Republic. This makes difficult to determine the political regime of Guinea with regard to the classical regimes such as presidential regime and parliamentary regime, even though it is regularly associated to the former.
We know that the presidential regime is characterized by a rigid separation of powers, none of which can dissolve the other. In Guinea, the President of the Republic is naturally preponderating like any other presidential regime, but here he has the capacity of dissolving the parliament after the rejection of his proposed bill. However, after the election of the new parliamentary, if the new Members of the Parliament adopt the same position as the previous ones, the President of the Republic will have to resign.
Those specificities of the Guinean regime make it a little different from the presidential regime to which it is associated. To be associated does not mean to be the same. This Constitution, as mentioned before, provides for the separation of the powers of Government. As it will be observed there are discrepancies in this separation, hence the necessity of discussing the powers of the Government.
It is led by the President of the Republic who is elected for seven years unlimitedly renewable and eventually a Prime Minister.
He is the first personality of the State; he is politically no responsible for acts accomplished in exercise of his duties. He can only be brought to justice the High Court for high treason Haute trahison. In case of vacancy of power for impeachment, physical incapacity or death , the President of the National Assembly the Speaker of the Parliament takes over as the interim President.
