The Constitution of Belgium of 1831, Art. 90, authorizes the Council of Ministers or, more precisely, the ministers in Council to exercise the royal authority during the period when the throne remains vacant or when a monarch is incapable to exercise the same functions; the vacancy normally occurs upon the demise of the monarch and lasts until the swearing-in of his successor; original text of Art. 90 in French and Dutch reads: "les pouvoirs consdtitutionnels du Roi sont exercés, au nom du peuple belge, par les ministres réunis en conseil ..." = "... wordt de grondwettelijke macht van de Koning in naam van het Belgische volk uitgeoefend door de in raad verenigde ministers ..." |
