    "content": "problem with the Bill, he can introduce those clauses during the Committee Stage or the main stages that a Bill goes through. So, if the President is asleep and waits for a Bill to arrive in State House to introduce new clauses, that would undermine the authority of the Constitution. What we are talking about is not an idle point. Let me tell this House that the First Parliament lost its powers gradually by little things like this. It was nibbled off. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in fact, I am so happy that the Senate Deputy Majority Leader is here because I think at one time there was a “Keter Bill”, which was supposed to empower Parliament. From his utterances, he is now involved in a process of emasculating Parliament. I do not know whether that old adage about power and absolute power corrupting absolutely--- So, I think all those matters should be put to your ruling and consideration so that we abide by the Constitution."
