Journal elections: cohabitation

Publication date 18/02/1986 From €100.00

National Assembly: republican institution

The problem of possible cohabitation after the general elections is considered from the point of view of constitutional law and in the light of the positions of previous presidents of the republic. Cohabitation affects the relationship between the president and the parliamentary majority, especially in the choice of the prime minister. The political scientist René REMOND analyses the reactions of François Mitterrand and Georges Pompidou when they were confronted with this choice. The constitution does not impose any obligation on the head of state, but in order to prevent the parliament from overthrowing the government it is desirable that it choose a personality accepted by the parliamentarians. If François Mitterrand, said that he could appoint the prime minister he wanted, Georges Pompidou qualified his statement by saying: "The president of the republic takes into account the composition of the Assembly, but is not a slave to it". Quotes from the two Presidents are transcribed in the image with infographics.

Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on the Use of Public Funds: Instructions for Use

Publication date 03/03/1998 From €100.00

National Assembly: republican institution

It is an order of 17 November 1958 which defines the role and organization of a parliamentary commission of inquiry. The 30 members who sit on the committee of inquiry represent proportionally all the political groups. The work cannot exceed 6 months and ends with the filing of a report. The meetings of the committee were secret until July 1991, when the law was amended to allow for the recording of hearings, with the exception of deliberations. As part of their investigation, Members of Parliament have important means: they can travel and have the power of coercion to hear any person or to be given any document they feel is necessary. The final report is made public. Comment on journalist on illustration images.

Publication date 30/11/1978 From €100.00

National Assembly: republican institution

MP Pierre JOXE explains the work of parliamentary groups in the National Assembly. The weekly meetings of the elected representatives of the political parties are used to prepare the debates in the Assembly, to organize the work, to appoint speakers and to define the common political positions. Each group can create small working groups on specific topics. These meetings also provide an opportunity to take stock of current issues, outside of the predefined political agenda.

The issue of parliamentary committees of inquiry

Publication date 07/11/2007 From €100.00

National Assembly: republican institution

A topic devoted to the issues of parliamentary commissions of inquiry in the relationship between the legislative and executive branches. This tool made available to the deputies allows to control the action of the government and the administrations, but as deplores the professor of constitutional law André MAUS, it is little followed of effect. The report drawn up by the committee members after months of debate is not discussed in open session. Yet commissions of inquiry have multiplied in recent years, especially to counter the phenomenon of "hyper-presidency". André VALLINI, Member of the European Parliament, agrees and regrets that the French Members of Parliament do not draw more inspiration from the habits of their American counterparts who devote a large part of their time to controlling what the government does. The journalist concluded by saying that the first commission of inquiry dates from the Revolution on the conditions of Louis XVI’s flight to Varennes.

Publication date 27/01/1959 From €100.00

Paul REYNAUD, Member of the European Parliament and former President of the Council, on the physical installation of Members in the Chamber. He explains that when the Estates General met in 1789, the nobility was seated at the right hand of King Louis XVI. He assumes that the Republicans did not dare to take this place afterwards. The British Parliament operates differently: whatever the political colour of the deputies, it is their majority or opposition that determines their place.

The political stakes of cohabitation by René Remond

Publication date 03/02/1981 From €100.00

National Assembly: republican institution

Historian and political scientist René REMOND analyses the situation regarding the possible cohabitation between a president of the republic and an assembly of an opposite party. This situation can arise in every presidential or legislative election. He compares the opposing reactions of President Giscard d'Estaing in 1978 and François Mitterrand in 1981. If the former had said that he would try to govern with a majority against him, the latter expressed his wish to dissolve the Assembly, thus hoping to obtain a parliamentary majority.

Relations between the legislative branch and the executive: dissolution and motion of censure

Publication date 07/03/1978 From €100.00

National Assembly: republican institution

Didactic subject devoted to the relationship between the executive and the National Assembly. The 1958 Constitution allows the President of the Republic to dissolve the National Assembly under certain conditions, except in the case of an interim presidency and the year following a dissolution. Apart from the legislative role of the deputies, the National Assembly has a mission of control of the government which is expressed through two procedures: questions to the government and the putting into play of the political responsibility which is expressed by the motion of censure, on the initiative of members of Parliament, and on the issue of confidence, on the initiative of the Prime Minister. The subject consists only of illustration images taken mostly inside the Palais Bourbon.

The latter protested since there is currently no status for this profession. The subject provides an update on this profession. The editing alternates archival and illustration images with interviews with Jean François Cassant, parliamentary assistant since 1997 and Sylvie Debord, parliamentary assistant since 1982.

Jean Philippe Lecat on political groups in Parliament

Publication date 13/05/1970 From €100.00

National Assembly: republican institution

Jean Philippe LECAT, UDR Member of Parliament for Côte d'Or, discusses the evolution of parliamentarians' work. If in the past members could work alone, it is inconceivable today not to work in a caucus. The work of the UDR Group, as it has an absolute majority in parliament, has a great political significance. He concluded by saying: "The deputy in 1970 can no longer be a man alone. In law-making, he is a member of a commission and that is where he is effective, and politically he is a member of a political group and that is where he is effective."
