en · 843 chars · active
The President has the right to suspend the
proclamation of a law for a period of two months. The President
shall suspend the proclamation of a law if so requested by not
less than one-third of the members of the Saeima. This
right may be exercised by the President, or by one-third of the
members of the Saeima, within ten days of the adoption of
the law by the Saeima. The law thus suspended shall be put
to a national referendum if so requested by not less than
one-tenth of the electorate. If no such request is received
during the aforementioned two-month period, the law shall then be
proclaimed after the expiration of such period. A national
referendum shall not take place, however, if the Saeima
again votes on the law and not less than three-quarters of all
members of the Saeima vote for the adoption of the
law.
