Statement 2 is correct: An ordinance promulgated by the President must be laid before both Houses of Parliament when they re-assemble. It ceases to operate at the expiration of six weeks from the re-assembly of Parliament, or if before the expiration of that period resolutions disapproving it are passed by both Houses. The period of six weeks is calculated from the date on which the Houses of Parliament re-assemble, or from the date on which the later of the Houses meets if they re-assemble on different dates.
