| | President of Austria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The President appoints and swears in the Federal Chancellor and, upon the advice of the Chancellor, the federal ministers. |
 | | Finally, the governors of Austria's federal states are sworn in by the president. |
 | | However, as a practical matter, all the President ever does is fulfill purely ceremonial duties: much like British monarchs, holders of the office of President of Austria are bound by constitutional convention to aim at being nonpartisan custodians of political morality, to serve as symbols of national identity, and not to intervene in actual politics. |
