What is the power of an administrator to promulgate Ordinances during a recess of the Legislature?
The power of an administrator to promulgate Ordinances during a recess of the Legislature is that, if circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action and the Legislature is not in session, he may promulgate such Ordinances as the circumstances appear to him to require. However, this power is subject to certain conditions: (i) the administrator must obtain instructions from the President before promulgating an Ordinance; (ii) no Ordinance can be promulgated when the Legislature is dissolved or its functioning is suspended on account of any action taken under a particular law; and (iii) an Ordinance promulgated under this power shall cease to operate upon the reassembly of the Legislature, unless it is approved by the Legislature within six weeks from the reassembly.
