Talk:List of enacting formulae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia seems to have a strange habit of locating its articles at "list of..." wherever possible. This is a kind of list, but it's not just a list, and discusses the concept a bit. Can't we move it to "enacting formula" or "enacting clause"?

That got redirected here D:... I suspect it'll end up getting split into two seperate articels. 68.39.174.238 00:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oireachtas

The Oireachtas, in its present form, has existed since the Constitution of Ireland of 1937, theirfore I have removed "Oireachtas of the Republic of Ireland" as the Republic of Ireland is a name used only since 1949 and theirfore it leaves the matter of over 10 years unaccounted for. In any case the Oireachtas is simply known as Oireachtas and never "Oireachtas of the Republic of Ireland". Second reason no need to mix languages and in the process "generate" names which never existed before. Djegan 22:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] EU Treaties

European Union treaties have a common enacting formula. Can this be included? See Treaty of Lisbon. 81.155.125.119 (talk) 12:29, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Enacting formulae not dependent on formal components of legislature

I removed this sentence: Whether or not the head of state is mentioned in a formula depends on if they are formally considered a component of the legislature. Because in many cases, the formal components of a legislature may include the head of state but have an enacting formulae that does not mention the HOS. In Australia, HM The Queen is constitutionally a part of Parliament(Commonwealth of Australia Act 1901, S.1) but the Federal enacting formula does not mention her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.191.82 (talk) 01:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
