The President of Ukraine ((ウクライナ語:Президент України, ''Prezydent Ukrayiny'')) is the Ukrainian head of state. The President represents the nation in international relations, administers the foreign political activity of the state, conducts negotiations and concludes international treaties. The President is directly elected by the citizens of Ukraine for a five-year term of office (whether the Presidential election is early or scheduled), limited to two terms consecutively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Ukrainian president will be elected for 5-year term – Constitutional Court )〕 The President's official residence is the Mariyinsky Palace, located in the Pechersk district of the capital Kyiv. Other official residences include the House with Chimaeras and the House of the Weeping Widow, which are used for official visits by foreign representatives. The Presidential Administration of Ukraine, unofficially known as "Bankova" in reference to the street it is located on, serves as the Presidential administration, advising the President in the domestic, foreign and legal matters. Since the office's formation on July 5, 1991, there have been five Presidents of Ukraine. Leonid Kravchuk was the inaugural president, serving three years from 1991 until his resignation in 1994. Leonid Kuchma was the only President to have served two consecutive terms in office. Both Viktor Yushchenko and Viktor Yanukovych served one term, with the latter being replaced by acting president Oleksandr Turchynov, who then also served as Chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament, on February 21, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Resolution of the Verkhovna Rada №764-VІІ of 23.02.2014 On conferring powers of the President of Ukraine on the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada according to article 112 of the Constitution of Ukraine )〕 Oleksandr Turchynov was the only acting president in Ukraine's modern history, unlike in the US where the vice president inherits all powers of the presidency the powers of an acting president in Ukraine are severely limited. On 18 June 2015 Yanukovych was officially deprived of the title of President of Ukraine.〔(Published law deprives Yanukovych of presidential rank ), UNIAN (17 June 2015)〕 The current president is Petro Poroshenko who took the oath of office on June 7, 2014.〔 (Rada decides to hold inauguration of Poroshenko on June 7 at 1000 ), Interfax-Ukraine (3 June 2014) (Poroshenko sworn in as Ukrainian president ), Interfax-Ukraine (7 June 2014)〕 The Government of Ukraine utilizes a Semi-presidential system in which the roles of the head of state and head of government are separate, thus the president of Ukraine is not the nation's head of government. The prime minister serves as the head of government, a role currently filled by Arseniy Yatsenyuk who was re-appointed to the position following the October 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election. ==Overview== The President is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Army and heads the National Security and Defense Council, which advises the President, co-ordinates and controls the activity of bodies of executive power in the sphere of national security and defense. According to the Constitution of Ukraine, the president is the guarantor of the state's sovereignty, territorial indivisibility, the observance of the Constitution of Ukraine and human and citizens' rights and freedoms. As with the separation of powers, the President has checks on the authority of parliament and the judicial system. For instance, any law passed by the parliament can be vetoed by the President; however, parliament can override his veto with a 2/3 constitutional majority vote. The President has limited authority to disband the Verkhovna Rada (parliament), and nominates candidates for the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defense in the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers. Six out of eighteen of the Constitutional Court judges are appointed by the President. Decisions of the President are subject to review by Ukraine's courts with the Constitutional Court having the sole authority and power to declare decrees of the president unconstitutional. While in office, the president enjoys the right of immunity. Ukrainian Presidents are frequently asked by individual citizens for help in solving their personal problems (sometimes successfully); in 2012, (then) President Yanukovych received about 10,000 to 12,000 letters from people every month.〔 By-passing local governments is an ages-old practice in Ukraine.〔(Help Me, Father Czar! ), Kyiv Post (5 April 2012)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「President of Ukraine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
