Editing Motion of no confidence (section)

=== Czech Republic ===

The [[Constitution of the Czech Republic]] provides for a government responsible to the Chamber of Deputies (the lower chamber of the [[Parliament of the Czech Republic|Czech parliament]]).<ref name="CZ-constitution-A68">{{Cite web |title=Constitution of the Czech Republic|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Czech_Republic |access-date=16 September 2024 |website=en.wikisource.org|quote=Article 68}}</ref> Any new government, appointed after the demise of previous one, must—no more than 30 days after being appointed by the [[President of the Czech Republic|president of the republic]]—request a motion of confidence vote from the [[Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic|Chamber of Deputies]].<ref name="CZ-constitution-A68"/> The motion of confidence is passed if more deputies vote for the government than against it. Otherwise, the government must resign and the president can appoint a new government.<ref name="CZ-constitution-A35">{{Cite web |title=Constitution of the Czech Republic|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Czech_Republic |access-date=16 September 2024 |website=en.wikisource.org|quote=Article 35}}</ref> If this government also fails to gain confidence, then the President of the republic must appoint a prime minister proposed by the [[President of the Chamber of Deputies (Czech Republic)|president of the Chamber of Deputies]]. If this government still fails to gain confidence of the Chamber, then the president of the republic may choose either to again appoint a prime minister of his choice (the government still need to pass motion of confidence) or to order the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies and set new elections.<ref name="CZ-constitution-A35"/>

The government can at any time ask the Chamber of Deputies for a vote of confidence.<ref name="CZ-constitution-A71">{{Cite web |title=Constitution of the Czech Republic|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Czech_Republic |access-date=16 September 2024 |website=en.wikisource.org|quote=Article 71}}</ref> The government can also connect voting on a government-sponsored bill with a request for a vote of confidence. If the bill fails to pass in Chamber of Deputies it is equivalent to a lost vote of confidence. In this case, the Chamber has to vote on the proposed bill within three months of its submission (otherwise the president of the republic can dissolve it).<ref name="CZ-constitution-A35"/><ref name="CZ-constitution-A44">{{Cite web |title=Constitution of the Czech Republic|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Czech_Republic |access-date=16 September 2024 |website=en.wikisource.org|quote=Article 44}}</ref>

The Chamber of Deputies may itself start debate on a vote of no confidence in the government, but only if it has been submitted in writing by at least fifty Deputies. To adopt the resolution, an absolute majority of all Deputies have to vote against the government.<ref name="CZ-constitution-A72">{{Cite web |title=Constitution of the Czech Republic|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Czech_Republic |access-date=16 September 2024 |website=en.wikisource.org|quote=Article 72}}</ref>
