The President of the Republic of Ireland is the title given to the head of state and partial head of government in Ireland, a position with broad executive but limited legislative power. The President is recognized as the head of state in both practical and ceremonial fashions, and formally invites the elective Taioseach from the Dail to form a government, similarly to the President of England, although the Irish President is fully empowered to arrange an executive Cabinet that is approved by the Dail and appoint judges, similarly to the American model. The President of Ireland has traditionally been viewed as the commander-in-chief of the Irish military, a role fortified by Michael Collins during the Irish War and cemented into law during the 1982 Constitutional Reforms.
