Conclusion

The influence of the President depends on his personality, and a man of character and ability can really exert a potent influence on the affairs of the government. The President can make his influence felt by his advice, help and persuasion by using his knowledge, experience and disinterestedness to arrive at sound decisions on matters affecting the well-being of people and not by his dictating any particular course of action to his ministers.

Ultimately, it is the Council of Ministers, which shall prevail and not the President. The President's role may at best be advisory; he may act as the guide, philosopher and friend to the Ministers, but cannot assume to himself the role of their master- a role, which is assigned to the Prime Minister. The intention of the makers of the Constitution was that the President should be a center from which a beneficent influence should radiate over the whole administration. It was clearly not their intention that he should be the focus of any power.
