Abstract

Abstract: One of the aspects of government's accountability pro rata the president's accountability and responsibility is related to political accountability and that is the government or executive officials of the land must be accountable for parliament and people regarding their policies, and also priority and the state of executing them. Unlike legal accountability having relatively simple connections and just a connection between governmental authorities and courts, political accountability has more complicated structure. In such accountability, governmental non-elective organs (e.g. public services, armed forces, police, and security services) through ministers appointed by the president are held accountable for him. In turn, the presidents and ministers are also accountable for people and parliament or legislative considered as people's representatives. Another aspect of the president or government's accountability is legal or juridical accountability. In explaining such responsibility, it must be said that all governmental officials including the elective and appointive are accountable for courts in case of any violation in their functions. Basically, the concept of law government is also innate in here and, that is, those who implement rules and execute policies themselves must act based on the power determined and limited by law and also according to constitution. In this article, we intend to study and compare the president's responsibility in three countries: Iran, America, and France.
