| Message | am ADAMANTLY opposed to this legislation b/c it dissolves the sacredness of the system of checks n' balances within our government. To be perfectly honest, though, I have a lukewarm reception to it. On one hand, I agree that the Head of State (President) should preside over the Cabinet to secure an efficent government but I Prime Minister should not be part of the Executive Branch since he/she is SELECTED by the legislature. |
