President in Poland is in theory purely representative function. He should just greet foreign head of states, swear in judges, pose for pictures and so one. Very similar to what VP does in US but without being second in line for power. However, Polish constitution is badly written and accidentally gave president more power than he should have. It was OK for some time but the last two guys started abusing their powers and claiming they should actually run the country. Polish President is elected in separate elections to the parliamentary ones which decide who is the Prime Minister. Current President is from the opposition party and is in direct conflict with the government vetoing most of their reforms and doing other stupid shit like proposing silly laws.
Just to add some context…
