UFR FLOOR LEADER ON LEGISLATIVE ISSUES

 L’EXAMINATEUR HERAUT
 
National Assembly, June 27, 5739: L’EXAMINATEUR HERAUT asked Union Federale Radicale (UFR) Floor Leader Louis LeFebvre what kind of issues were being addressed in the National Assembly, and LeFebvre responded:
 
We are seeing the usual decisions on whether particular services should be furnished by private business or government agency, and most actually presented are breaking toward government agencies.
 
Surprisingly, what has become the most heated issue is Presidential power. Some parties such as UFR favor legislative supremacy in the Republique, but the extensive amendments to the Constitution as it was being reshaped created rather the opposite.
 
As the Constitution has emerged, the President gets to initially select the Head of Government, veto legislation and issue executive orders.  The President decided to ban holding nobles.  The rules on nobility were already a shambles calling for clarification which abolition certainly did.
 
A substantial minority of the National Assembly felt this was something which should be determined legislatively but the governing coalition voted otherwise upholding the Executive Order.in question.
 
Amendments to limit and expand Presidential authority are under consideration.  UFR expects its support for legislative supremacy will go into the dustbin of history.
