- 16. With the most profound respect to the members of the senate, I do not think that it is within the competence of that _16_ body to pass a motion to _17_ the executive action of the president. The senate is _18_ of the National Assembly. But it is not by itself alone, the National Assembly. One can imagine the confusion which would have been created if the _19_ were to take a view diametrically opposed to that reflected in the senate resolution.

The function of the senate is to _21_ laws. But the senate has no authority or _22_ to control the president in the exercise of his _23_ powers.It cannot by a mere resolution or motion give any directive to the president regarding the exercise of his powers nor can it undo what the president has done in the exercise of those powers. The only way in which the exercise of the powers of the president can be _24_ is by _25_ of the National Assembly.
