    "content": "The first way in which he can do it is to give a general statement that: “I am not happy with this clause. Therefore, you need to look at it.” But if the President does that, there is going to be a genuine fear that at the end of the day, the House may not actually get it very clearly as to what the President wants to say. If the statement or those reservations are not clear, there is a likelihood of those reservations being misunderstood by this House. Therefore, we go to the second option. The second option is for the President to present his reservations to this House in form of a draft clearly stipulating that: “You, as Members of Parliament, talked about this clause. I would prefer this clause to go this way.” Once he has done that, it becomes extremely clear to this House that, indeed, that is exactly what the President wants. After that, it is incumbent upon this House to look at those reservations given by the President and if you are not happy with them, we have the two-thirds. That is the Constitution. We can have two-thirds and say no. If we are satisfied, we simply do a simple majority."
