What is the role of the President in summoning sessions of Parliament?
The role of the President in summoning sessions of Parliament is to call each House of Parliament to meet at a time and place that he thinks fit. He is required to do this from time to time, with no more than six months intervening between its last sitting in one session and the date appointed for its first sitting in the next session. The President also has the power to prorogue the Houses or either House, as well as dissolve the House of the People.
