Irma, I' was just reminded I hadn't read this yet. Do you know offhand what is the President's power to introduce legislation? I can look it up, but it would be easier if I had my pocket constitution, which I've somehow managed to misplace. Maybe I can find a copy to print off. In this case I prefer paper copy to this small screen I have on my netbook.
