Sposób obliczania terminu pierwszego posiedzenia Sejmu

The author presents three different, legally permissible positions concerning the date of the first sitting of the Sejm. The first of them is based on a strict interpretation of the four-year term of office of the Sejm. The second allows it to be extended because of certain constitutional provisions. The third points out, that a four-year term of office does not imply a rigid definition of the starting and ending dates of powers of the Sejm of a current term. In the author’s opinion, tordering of the elections to the Sejm and Senate to be held on 13th October 2019 implies the application of the last concept.
