    "content": "15 Members, we ought to transact business because that is the law. We have to adhere to it. Article 123 (4) (c) states that:- “The matter is carried only if it is supported by the majority of all the delegations.” It, therefore, means if it is not supported by the majority, it will be lost. If the majority of the Members do not support the Memorandum from the President, it will be lost. In that case, where a minimum of 32 Members is not attained, then the Memorandum overrides. Whether we attain or lose it, to me, it does not help. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before making your ruling, consider the issue whether we should have a quorum as per the Constitution or whether we should have 32 Members present to overturn a Presidential Memorandum. It does not anticipate where we do not attain 32 or the simple majority to pass. These are some of the issues we need to consider. The presence of 24 Members has been our agreement to pass or disallow the Bills. Here is a situation where we want to lose it when we do not have a minimum of 24 Members present. The Presidential Memorandum will pass whether it is by simple majority or not."
