Diet gives vote of confidence to the government by an absolute majority of votes (and therefore must be at least one vote more “for” than votes “against” and “abstain” ) in the presence of at least half of the statutory number of deputies – the room at the time of the parliamentary vote must therefore be at least 230 members.

If Parliament did not give the government a vote of confidence Kopacz, is – under the Constitution – the initiative to take over the Parliament, which in this constitutional step has two weeks to form a government and giving him a vote of confidence.

In this approach, as in the first constitutional step, the Parliament granted the government a vote of confidence by an absolute majority of votes in the presence of at least 230 MPs . If you give a vote of Parliament, the President shall appoint selected in this way, the Council of Ministers.

If the Sejm failed to emerge government, the Constitution provides a third approach, in which the initiative back to the president.
