Ancora sul semestre bianco e sulla rieleggibilità del Presidente della Repubblica, a 130 anni dalla nascita di Antonio Segni

This paper, taking inspiration from a recent statement by President Sergio Mattarella, focuses on the memorable message President Antonio Segni sent to the Chambers in 1963, hoping for a constitutional review based on the introduction of an expressed non-re-eligibility clause for the President of the Republic and on the abolition of the so-called “white semester”. The essay, analyzing, firstly, the Constituent Assembly debate, the content of the various reform bills and the main doctrinal opinions on the theme, then aims to investigate the opportunity, nowadays, of a relaunch of these proposals, through the modification of the articles 85 and 88 of the Italian Constitution.
