(Dr.) Machage): You talked about other democracies with a similar practice as ours in this country. My response will solely lie on the Constitution. If you can give me a clause or law that orders the President do likewise, I would similarly give the order. As it is, it may be a vacuum or lacuna that needs to be filled by you as a legislator. Bring an amendment using the right channels, referendum or whatever, so that the Constitution can be amended as so."}
