The presidency in Republic Mali is discussed in more details. On the basis of the Constitution of 1992 the author of the clause shows a modern condition of this institute which at the moment has all chances to become quite democratic establishment. It is possible to ascertain, thus, consecutive enough development of institute of presidency in this state - from early «rough and perverted» features to more civilized, democratic. In clause the conclusion is made that on the basis of the Constitution of Republic Mali, it is impossible to consider the Mali state unequivocally neither parliamentary, nor presidential.
