Term limit
According to the constitution, the president of the republic can be re-elected at most once to this office which is supposed to mean that if their two terms do not follow each other then they can be elected for a third term as well. CERBERUS - ii iv iii (talk) 16:55, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Katalin Novák is still the president
She announced her resignation today, of course, but the National Assembly has to accept it first according to the law, which may not happen until 26 February. WolfmanFP (talk) 17:36, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

"Deputy" to the President
Hi, some time ago I made an edit to the Hungarian President's Wikipedia page, specifically where I have labeled the speaker of the National Assembly of Hungary as the Hungarian President's "deputy", but the user Bencemac seems to disagree stating that "the Speaker is not its deputy". Let me explain the following: the dictionary definition of a "deputy" is "someone appointed as the substitute of another, and empowered to act for them, in their name or their behalf" and the Speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly fits that description as the constitutional substitute for the Hungarian President as per Article 14 of the Hungarian Constitution which states that the Speaker becomes Acting President during both temporary and absolute absences of the President. Let me explain the following: The role of a deputy of a country's President varies by jurisdiction, Wikipedians at the very least define three basic categories of deputies to a country's President: first is the category of "Vice President" which is a standalone office existing for deputizing or replacing a President, second is the category of "Designated Acting President" which is a person that deputizes or replaces a President by holding another separate office, and third is the category of "Presidential Commission" (like the one in Ireland) which is essentially a collective version of a Designated Acting President (Note: this of course excludes countries whose Presidents have no deputies or assigned substitutes and instead a new President or Acting President has to be elected or appointed immediately, such as in the case of the President of Ethiopia). In a number of jurisdictions where there is a Vice President (such as the U.S. and Brazilian Vice Presidents), the Vice President usually becomes "Acting President" (where they are just temporarily assuming the duties and powers of the presidency of their countries when the official President is not available and do not assume the full Office of President in their own right) during temporary absences and become the "Official" President during absolute absences (meaning they are now officially occupying the Office of President for the remainder of the "original" President's term). However, some Vice Presidents (such as the Vice President of India) and most Designated Acting Presidents are usually only assigned by the local constitutions to serve as "Acting President" until a new "Official" President can be elected in case of absolute absence, but are also assigned to become "Acting President" during temporary absences (such as travel, illness, etc.) and even during certain occasions they might not assume all powers and duties of the country's President, but instead "deputise" for the President by performing on the President's behalf merely tasks that require the President's physical presence, such as the signing of documents. So the Speaker of the National Assembly of Hungary is the constitutional deputy of the Hungarian President in that sense of the word. 178.132.75.60 (talk) 11:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
