The Coprinces, with the countersignature of the Head of Government, or when appropriate, of the Syndic General, have the political responsibility for:

a) Calling a general election in accordance with the Constitution.

b) Calling a referendum in accordance with articles 76 and 106 of the Constitution.

c) Appointing the Head of Government following the procedure provided for in the Constitution.

d) Signing a decree of dissolution of the General Council following the procedure of article 71 of the Constitution.

e) Accrediting diplomatic representatives of Andorra to foreign States. Foreign envoys present credentials to each of the two.

f) Appointing the holders of office of the other institutions of the State in accordance with the Constitution and the law.

g) Sanctioning and enacting laws in accordance with article 63 of this Constitution.

h) Expressing the consent of the State to honour its international treaties under the provisions of chapter III of Title IV of the Constitution.

i) Performing such other functions as may specifically be conferred on them by the Constitution.

2. The dispositions provided for in letters g) and h) of this article shall be simultaneously brought to the attention of each Coprince, who shall sanction and enact them or express the consent of the State, as the case may be, and the Coprinces shall order their publication within a period of between eight and fifteen days thereafter. Within that period the Coprinces, individually or jointly, may address themselves to the Constitutional Court, with a reasoned message, so that this institution may render judgment on the constitutionality of any such act. If the resolution is positive the act may be sanctioned with the signature of at least one of the Coprinces.

3. When there may be circumstances preventing one of the Coprinces from formalising the acts listed in part 1 of this article within the periods constitutionally provided for, his representative shall make it known to the Syndic General, or where appropriate, to the Head of Government. In that case, the acts, norms or decisions in question shall take effect once the aforementioned period has elapsed with the signature of the other Coprince and the countersignature of the Head of Government, or, where appropriate, the Syndic General.
