In the Presidential government system effectiveness of the use of the budget right by the legislative department

The situation of making public expenditures to be made by the executive body and taxes and similar public revenues to be collected from individuals in accordance with the approval of the legislative power is generally expressed as the budget right. In this context, the budget right, which includes elements such as approval of the budget, monitoring and auditing the results of budget implementation, is a right that must be used by parliaments. However, the effective use of this right by the legislative powers may vary depending on many factors such as the political, economic, legal, social and cultural characteristics of the countries. Therefore, in some countries that use the same government systems, the effectiveness of the use of budget rights may be realized at different levels compared to each other. The parliamentary government system has been implemented as a government system in Türkiye for about a century. The fact that the government system in question has a dual-headed mechanism due to the presence of two powerful political elements, the President and the Prime Minister, that it has caused coalition governments as has been witnessed frequently in Turkey's recent history, and that it has some negative characteristics such as being faced with an unstable administrative system in this context, have made the parliamentary system debatable over time. Since the beginning of the 2000s, discussions on the parliamentary system have gained momentum and finally, a decision was made to change the government system in 2017. In this context, the presidential government system, which is also described as the Turkish-style presidential system by some, was adopted in the referendum held on April 16, 2017 and the system came into effect after the general elections held on June 24, 2018. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the use of budget rights by the legislature in the presidential government system by comparing some factors with the parliamentary system. In this context, the historical development of the budget right and the budget processes of some countries, including Türkiye, were examined and the factors that are thought to have positive or negative effects on the effective use of the budget right of the parliament in the presidential government system were evaluated. At the end of the analyses, suggestions for improvement that are thought to increase the effectiveness of the use of budget rights by the legislature in the new government system were included.
