[edit] Congrès

Could we perhaps mention, and explain, the congrès, which Wikipedia's Congress article says: "is a formal and exceptional joint meeting of both houses of Parliament in order to ratify an amendment to the Constitution", but when you follow the link that page provides you arrive here, and there is no mention whatsoever of the aforementioned congrès, which does seem a bit odd.

(I suppose that I could just translate the fr:Congrès du Parlement français article myself, but I assume that there must be some experts on French politics who "watch" this page and will know all about it, and... not least... my French is rubbish!) --Mais oui! 08:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] députés

I don't believe that députés can be translated as deputies. The words may be related etymologically but not semantically. This is like the false translation of sostituto as substitute. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.189.187.63 (talk) 15:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Censure

I believe that the statement that there has never been a censure of the Government is untrue. In 1962, the National Assembly voted censure against the government headed by Prime Minister Georges Pompidou, in order to express its displeasure with various actions of President Charles deGaulle. President deGaulle responded by dissolving the National Assembly. The ensuing elections returned an Assembly with a stronger Gaullist majority, and Pompidou continued in office.

[edit] 1789

So, when this first started, why is there nothing about how they tried to solve France's money problems?--§ Eloc § 23:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
