France is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and reserves the power to veto — it also has nuclear capabilities.
The French political scene is informed and shaped by the French Constitution of the French Fifth Republic, which states that France is to be an "indivisible, secular, democratic, and social Republic", and provides for the "attachment to the Rights of Man and the principles of national sovereignty as defined by the Declaration of The French Republic is a unitary semi-presidential representative democratic republic. The executive branch of the French Government has two leaders: the President of the Republic currently Emmanuel Macron who is head of state and is elected for a 5-year term, and the Prime Minister, leads the Government.
The elected National Assembly deputies represent local constituencies over 5-year terms, who collectively retain the power to dismiss the government. Senators are elected for 6-year terms previously 9-year terms , and half of the seats are re-elected every 3 years. The current president is Francois Hollande who was elected in May The Prime Minister, after appointment, forms the government by appointing ministers. The proposed ministers have to be approved by the President. The Prime Minister is mandated to direct the actions of the government and to coordinate ministerial and governmental actions.
The Prime Minister oversees the implementation of laws and national defense. The current prime minister is Manuel Valls who took office on April 1, The members of the cabinet are appointed by the President after they are proposed by the Prime Minister.
The Ministers are entrusted to oversee their individual ministries and to implement government policy. The independent judiciary system does not answer to, and is not controlled by, the other two branches of government. Court of cassation judges are appointed by the president of the republic from nominations from the high council of the judiciary, presided by the court of cassation and 15 appointed members. The national assembly has the power to force the resignation of the executive cabinet by a vote.

The Prime Minister ensures the implementation of laws and exercises regulatory power, subject to the signature by the Head of State of ordinances and decrees which have been deliberated upon in the Council of Ministers. He may, in exceptional circumstances, replace the President of the Republic as chairman of the Council of Ministers.
He is also responsible for national defence, even though the broad guidelines are often set by the President of the Republic. The ministers and ministers of state are appointed by the President of the Republic upon a proposal of the Prime Minister.
Their powers are centred around two main missions. On the one hand, the ministers head a ministerial department. In addition, ministers are responsible for the supervision of public legal entities acting within their ministerial department's field of competence. In principle, ministers do not hold regulatory power that is the power to dictate general standards , except in the administration over their own ministerial department.
