which I hope makes things a little tidier than the box format currently, as it lists all those who ruled in the same era, instead of the jsut immediate predecessor and successor. Sherurcij 11:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Habsburgs & Co
Not just members of the Habsburg familiy but all members of any ruling or formerly ruling dynastic houses are banned to run for president. As far as I know, some members of the princely House of Liechtenstein are also Austrian citizens, they wouldn't be eligible as well. I changed the article accordingly.

referendum
“The president could, however, order a referendum concerning a bill passed by the legislature.”

I wonder where in the Federal Constitution it says so. Certainly not in Art 43 & 44 B-VG. --Vheissu (talk) 20:10, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

"Green-endorsed incumbent"
Wording could be considered unclear. Took me a second to realise this was simply referring to the fact that VdB is currently incumbent, but to phrase it like that in a sentence, "election of [...] incumbent" could be understood as that he was already president, and then re-elected with Green party endorsement, which is of course not the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.217.67.67 (talk) 14:47, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Lists
The list of Presidents is available both on this page and List of Presidents of Austria, there is no point in presenting the same information twice. Therefore, the table should either be removed here or the other page deleted. Skjoldbro (talk) 13:40, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Can't you go to another country and conduct your disimprovements there? No, it's not the "same information twice", this article provided a list about actual, common Presidents, while the List of Presidents of Austria provides a complete list with all officeholders, including acting Presidents and interim colleges. I added this table here as an exception, because it's extraordinarily short – there have been very view Presidents of Austria. And the German Wikipedia does it as well by the way.

 * How attempting to improve and standardize pages a "disimprovements"? Since the argument is that there have been few Presidents, at what point have there been too many, in order for the table to be removed again and placed solely on the list page? And the English Wikipedia does it as well by the way. Skjoldbro (talk) 08:25, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
