Travel Info Does the Canadian Prime Minister have the same "Executive Order" powers as the US President? Travel Tips The Canadian Prime Minister, technically, has no executive power, since he is the head of the legislative branch of power. Practically, he does have some executive power, but those powers are somewhat more limited than the President's. And the Prime Minister really only serves at the pleasure of his party's members. The Prime Minister can: - Appoint judges, cabinet ministers, and other officials (his power exceeds the President's in these cases, since there is no mandatory review of these appointments.) - Issue Privy Council orders Dissolving governments and requesting the formation of new ones is a power exercised by the Governor General, acting on behalf of the Queen. Others yes he has the same amount of power but has a legislature to assist in his decisions for the country Canada is the greatest place to live Nope..., our Prime Minister technically just represents his own riding in the house of commons..., I would only get a chance to vote him in if he was in my riding..., not like the US where all you guys vote for the President... Our PM for the most part needs approvals from Parliament before he can do anything... |
