According to the constitution, the president is the highest representative of the state. In practice, the position is mostly ceremonial.[2] The president can appoint high ranking officials such as the head of the Central Bank of Slovenia, but they have to be confirmed by the parliament.[2] Among other things, the president is also the commander-in-chief of the Slovenian Armed Forces. The office of the president is the Presidential Palace in Ljubljana.

The president is directly elected by universal adult suffrage for a term of five years.[3] Any Slovenian citizen of legal age (18 or more) may run for President, but may only hold office for two terms.[3]

The president has no legally guaranteed immunity and may be impeached.
