    "content": "Order, hon. Members! Hon. Members, hon. Affey requests the Chair in that point of order to make a finding that the Bill is unconstitutional. It will be premature for me to make this finding at this point in time because His Excellency the President in declining to give assent to the Bill as passed by this august House, has disseminated to me a memorandum titled “ Refusal to assent to the Indemnity Repeal Bill, 2010,” and the Constitution as well as our Standing Orders and indeed, our practices in this House, lay out elaborate procedure as to how the House will address itself to a memorandum issued by His Excellency the President and we will do so as I said in my communication, within 21 days of the refusal. So, it would be proper for us to attend and address ourselves to the memorandum within 21 days hereafter or from the date of the refusal so that the sentiments expressed by hon. Affey would be very useful to the House in deciding the fate of the Presidential Memorandum. The residual power to decide the destiny of the Bill as passed by the House rests with the House. So, invoke that residual power properly, democratically and you know what to do. That then brings us to the next order of Business."
