Dissolution of Parliament and interpretation of Article 64 of the Constitution
Faisal Rikan139 2020-08-02 Legal expert, Faisal Rikan || Article 64 of the constitution, unfortunately, is loose as it is many articles of the constitution. Therefore, it accepted more than one interpretation, and this is the problem of the permanent Iraqi constitution, because it was not written by a professional hand, and its articles were not subject to a scrutiny by a legal and linguistic committee with a high degree of professionalism to write it in a strong linguistic and legal formulation. More than one explanation.
Therefore, today we find a strong disagreement among the law experts on the interpretation of the clause or the security of Article 64 regarding the dissolution of the House of Representatives. They were divided into two groups. The first of them says that the dissolution of the House of Representatives takes place through the absolute majority of the members of the House, while others believe that the dissolution of the House can be done by an absolute majority of its members.
At the request of one third of the members, or with the approval of the President of the Republic, upon the request of the Prime Minister. I have the ability to redraft this paragraph related to dissolving the council if I want it to be the decision of the dissolution of the absolute majority only to write it in the following form:
