The president in Lithuanian political system: Search for position and power by Alvidas Lukošaitis

“…However, the main disparities in these two former models concern the situation when the President has acquired further political power - likewise the latter model - in naming the Government: on his own discretion, he can assemble, modify the structure of the Government, appoint ministers. Meanwhile, the Parliament is given the right to consider the vote of confidence over the Government or the Prime Minister (according to the authors, the situation when both the Parliament and the President are given this „dual" right to decide upon the future of the Government forebodes conflictuality amidst the Parliament and the President). …”
