Proposition de loi constitutionnelle tendant à supprimer les dispositions de l'article 18 de la Constitution qui permettent au Président de la République de s'exprimer devant le Congrès

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is a French constitutional proposal, tabled in the National Assembly, that would delete the provisions of Article 18 of the Constitution allowing the President of the Republic to address Parliament sitting as a Congress. The Congress brings together the members of the National Assembly and the Senate, usually at Versailles. This summary is based on the procedure's metadata only, not the full text of the bill. The change would affect the President of the Republic's ability to speak directly to both chambers of Parliament together, and the Parliament that would hear such speeches. Constitutional bills of this kind require adoption in identical terms by both chambers, and usually a referendum or a three-fifths majority of Congress, before taking effect.
