The President's powers are pervasive, not unlike those of the emirs of historical Lebanon, the Ottoman governors and the more recent French High Commissioners. The President appoints a Sunni Prime Minister who forms a cabinet to be approved by the President. He can also dismiss ministers, dissolve 23 Parliament, has the power of veto and can rule by decree. The President often plays the role of arbitrator, and less of a partisan role. Since he cannot be immediately re-elected to the Presidency,... he is not subservient to the Chamber and can act independently of it. The extensive powers given him by the Constitution give the impression of a very powerful chief executive. However, approval of policy by the Premier and Cabinet is necessary, and cooperation with the Chamber with regard to policy is needed. As arbiter the President must maintain a confessional balance. Political Clientelism; "Real" Actors and Informa l Rules Central to an understanding of Lebanese politics and more specifically the operation and functioning of the state's institutions is a discussion of patron-client relationships.
