The National Council of the Slovak Republic dealt also in V. election period in the draft of the Constitutional Act on the Annulment of certain decisions on amnesty. The draft of the Constitutional Act was not approved. In 1999 the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic ruled that the President is not authorized to annul the decision on Amnesty. The question arises, whether such annulment power has National Council of the Slovak Republic as the highest representative body of the Slovak Republic, namely by an Constitutional Act. This idea could be possible in terms of a poly legal constitution. The author controverts with such power of the National Council of the Slovak Republic and he argues that the National Council of Slovak Republic is in its constitutional power limited. This limitation represents the implicit material core of the constitution, which the author classifies as the principles of the rule of law and inviolable, inalienable, imprescriptible and indefeasible fundamental rights and freedoms. In relation to the Constitutional Act on the Annulment of some decisions on Amnesty refers to conflict with the principle of separation of powers and also to the absence of generality of such Constitutional Act.

The Treaty of Lisbon for the first time specifically solves the withdrawal of a Member State from the European Union. The actual withdrawal under the Art 50 of the Treaty on European Union adjusts the proceedings on the level of the European Union, but also assumes the prevent approval of the decision on withdrawal from the European Union on the level of the Member State. The Treaty on European Union presupposes the existence of national constitutional requirements for this process. In the present paper are therefore outlined the basic constitutional context of national decisions about the withdrawal of the Member State from the European Union and are outlined possible solutions in the Slovak Republic.

The paper analyzes the status of the Parliament in connection with the examination of the existence or absence of its obligation to adopt the law in situations that are analyzed in this paper. It is a question of obligations of the Parliament to adopt laws, if based on a valid referendum give citizens order to the Parliament for the adoption of such legislation, which reflect the results of a valid referendum into a law. Furthermore, it is effect of so called positive commitment of State which, under the authors‘ opinion in a material Rule of Law constitutes an obligation of the Parliament to adopt a law whether laws that would fill and guarantee constitutional rights and freedoms which, by their nature require an adjustment in the form of law. Finally, it is the adoption of laws as a result of implementation of legally binding acts of the European Union. Despite of the absence of constitutional sanctions for the fulfillment of the obligation of the Parliament to adopt the law, the authors express their opinion that in these cases arises for the Parliament the obligation to adopt the law. For a valid referendum at the same time the authors suggest the possible constitutional sanction, namely the dissolution of the Parliament.
