ARTICLE 64.--The President submits the proposals for laws to
the Volksraad, and charges the official to whose department they belong
first and foremost, with their explanation and defence.
ARTICLE 65.--As soon as the President has received the notice
of the Volksraad that the proposed law is adopted, he shall have that
law published within two months, and after the lapse of a month, to be
reckoned from the publication, he shall take measures for the execution
of the same.
ARTICLE 66.--Proclamation of martial law, as intended in
Article 23, shall only be made by the President with the assent of the
members of the Executive Council. This proclamation must, however, take
place in case of pressing danger, and the law shall then at once be put
into execution; the decision with regard to the danger is left to the
President and the members of the Executive Council, and is on their
responsibility. The Commandant-General must be present at the
consideration and decision of military affairs in the Executive Council
in virtue of his office, and shall have a vote as such therein.
ARTICLE 67.--The President, with advice of the Executive
Council, declares war and peace, with reference to Article 66 of the
Constitution; the Government having first, if possible, summoned the
Volksraad before the declaration of war.
