Canon 158. §1 Presentation to an ecclesiastical office by a person having the right of presentation must be made to the authority who is competent to make an appointment to the office in question; unless it is otherwise lawfully provided, presentation is to be made within three months of receiving notification of the vacancy of the office.

§2 If the right of presentation belongs to a college or group of persons, the person to be presented is to be designated according to the provisions of can. 165--179.

§1. Praesentatio ad officium ecclesiasticum ab eo, cui ius praesentandi competit, fieri debet auctoritati cuius est ad officium de quo agitur institutionem dare, et quidem, nisi aliud legitime cautum sit, intra tres menses ab habita vacationis officii notitia.

§2. Si ius praesentationis cuidam collegio aut coetui personarum competat, praesentandus designetur servatis can. 165-179 praescriptis.
Canon 159. No one is to be presented who is unwilling. Accordingly, one who is proposed for presentation must be consulted, and may be presented if within eight canonical days a refusal is not entered.

Nemo invitus praesentetur; quare qui praesentandus proponitur, mentem suam rogatus, nisi intra octiduum utile recuset, praesentari potest.
Canon 160. §1 One who has the right of presentation may present one or more persons, either simultaneously or successively.

§2 No persons may present themselves. However a college or a group of persons may present one of its members.

§1. Qui iure praesentationis gaudet, unum aut etiam plures, et quidem tum una simul tum successive, praesentare potest.

§2. Nemo potest seipsum praesentare; potest autem collegium aut coetus personarum aliquem suum sodalem praesentare.
Canon 161. §1 Unless the law prescribes otherwise, one who has presented a person who is judged unsuitable, may within a month present another candidate, but once only.

§2 If before the appointment is made the person presented has withdrawn or has died, the one with the right of presentation may exercise this right again, within a month of receiving notice of the withdrawal or of the death.

§1. Nisi aliud iure statuatur, potest qui aliquem praesentaverit non idoneum repertum, altera tantum vice, intra mensem, alium candidatum praesentare.

§2. Si praesentatus ante institutionem factam renuntiaverit aut de vita decesserit, potest qui iure praesentandi pollet, intra mensem ab habita renuntiationis aut mortis notitia, ius suum rursus exercere.
Canon 162. A person who has not presented anyone within the canonical time prescribed by can. 158 §1 and can. 161, or who has twice presented a candidate judged to be unsuitable, loses the right of presentation for that case. The authority who is competent to appoint may then freely provide for the vacant office, but with the consent of the proper Ordinary of the person appointed.

Qui intra tempus utile, ad normam can. 158, §1 et can. 161 praesentationem non fecerit, itemque qui bis praesentaverit non idoneum repertum, pro eo casu ius praesentationis amittit, atque auctoritati, cuius est institutionem dare, competit libere providere officio vacanti, assentiente tamen proprio provisi Ordinario.
Canon 163. The authority to whom, in accordance with the law, it belongs to appoint one who is presented, is to appoint the person lawfully presented whom he has judged suitable, and who has accepted. If a number lawfully presented are judged suitable, he is to appoint one of them.

Auctoritas, cui ad normam iuris competit praesentatum instituere, instituat legitime praesentatum quem idoneum reppererit et qui acceptaverit; quod si plures legitime praesentati idonei reperti sint, eorundem unum instituere debet.
