In this article, the author analyses the provision of Art. 116 par. 5 of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic. As a result of the resignation of the Prime Minister, this provision enshrines the resignation of the entire government, but does not specify exactly how these processes should take place. In recent times (2018, 2021), the constitutional practice has twice produced a situation where the government ceased to exist due to the resignation of the Prime Minister. In both cases, there have been steps on the part of the government that can be assessed as illogical and incorrect. The aim of the author is to subject this course of action to a critical analysis, taking into account the constitutional definition and functioning of resignation in the conditions of Slovakia. On this basis, the main goal of the author is to formulate how all procedures should be conducted in a constitutionally compliant manner in the event that the government is resigned due to the resignation of the Prime Minister.
