 Government of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Given France's runoff voting system, this means that the presidential candidate is required to obtain a nationwide majority of non-blank votes at either the first or second round of balloting, which presumably implies that the president is somewhat supported by at least half of the voting population; this gives him considerable legitimacy.
The government of France is a semi-presidential system based on the French Constitution of the fifth Republic, in which the nation declares itself to be "an indivisible, secular, democratic, and social Republic".
France uses a civil law system; that is, law arises primarily from written statutes; judges are not to make law, but merely to interpret it (though the amount of judge interpretation in certain areas makes it equivalent to case law).

 French Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The French constitution provides that, in case of a vacancy of the presidency of the republic, the chairman of the Senate becomes the interim president until a new one is elected.
Bills may be submitted by the government ("projets de loi" or law projects) or by each house of the Parliament ("propositions de loi" or law proposals).
This does not happen frequently: most of the time both houses eventually agree on the bill, or the government decides to withdraw it.

Vassilios Skouris, president of the Court of Justice, agreed to handle the case under an accelerated procedure, which means its ruling is made faster than the normal two- to three-year schedule.
In its ruling the European Court of Justice said the council of finance ministers "cannot depart from the rules laid down by the treaty or those which it set for itself in regulation no 1467/97 (which specifies the terms of the pact)".
While the court ruled against the suspension of the rules, it also acknowledged ministers' right not to follow commission recommendations for further spending cuts as long as they abide by the procedures set out in the pact.

 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > World -- French president postpones Australia visit
Chirac's visit would have been the first official visit by a French president to Australia but would have taken place against the backdrop of strained relations between France and supporters of the U.S.-led war which toppled Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
CANBERRA – French President Jacques Chirac has postponed plans to visit Australia next month so as to join a meeting of Pacific Island leaders in Tahiti, but France denied claims the move was a snub because of differences over Iraq.
Australian Prime Minister John Howard was one of the most vocal supporters of that war, sending troops to join the United States and Britain in a "coalition of the willing." France opposed the war on Iraq.

And although Benjamin Franklin, a Mason and Past Grand Master of Pennsylvania, was a member of the first seal committee, his proposal (P14) had no influence on the final designs, and he was in France when those designs were drawn up.
Because of the use of "seals" in official documents, the Great Seal of the United States appears in many places.

 Biography of George Washington
On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States.
When the French Revolution led to a major war between France and England, Washington refused to accept entirely the recommendations of either his Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who was pro-French, or his Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, who was pro-British.
But the determination of foreign policy became preponderantly a Presidential concern.

 A Primer on Same-Sex Marriage, Civil Unions, Domestic Partnerships, and Defense of Marriage Acts
In 1996, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Clinton.
The amendment would define marriage as the union of a man and a woman and could be used to overrule state or local protections for same-sex couples and their children.
Because the constitutionality of DOMA and state legislation against same-sex marriage has yet to be fully tested by the courts, relying on legislation to settle the issue of same-sex marriage will take years.
