    Article 64.

    Exercise of President's functions

    (1) In the exercise of his functions under this Constitution or any other law, the president shall act

    in accordance with the advice of the Cabinet or of a Minister acting under the general authority of

    the Cabinet except in cases where he is required by this Constitution to act in accordance with

    the advice of, or after consultation with, any person or authority other than the Cabinet or in his

    own deliberate judgement.

    (2) The President may request the Cabinet to reconsider any advice tendered by it and shall act

    in accordance with such advice as may be tendered by the Cabinet after such reconsideration.

    (3) Where the president so requests, the Prime Minister shall submit for the consideration of the

    Cabinet any matter on which a policy decision has been taken by a Minister but which has not

    been considered by the Cabinet.

    (4) Where the president is directed by this Constitution to exercise any function after consultation

    with any person or authority other than the Cabinet, he shall not be obliged to exercise that

    function in accordance with the advice of that person or authority.

    (5) (a) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c), where the President is required by this Constitution to

    act in accordance with the advice of or after consultation with any person or authority, the

    question whether in fact he has so acted shall not be called in question in any court of law.

    (b) Where the President dissolves Parliament otherwise than under the provision to section 57,

    the Prime Minister may, by motion, request the Supreme Court to enquire into the decision.

    (c) Upon the hearing of a motion under paragraph (b), the Supreme Court shall determine

    whether or not the president has acted in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister and

    where the Supreme Court declares that the President has not acted in accordance with such

    advice, the dissolution of the Parliament shall, subject to section 57(2), have no effect.

    (6) During any period in which the office of Leader of the Opposition is vacant by reason that

    there is no such opposition party as is referred to in section 73(2)(a) and the President, acting in

    his own deliberate judgement, is of the opinion that no member of the Assembly would be

    acceptable to the leaders of the opposition parties for the purposes of section 73(2)(b) or by

    reason that there are no opposition parties for the purposes of that section, the operation of any
    provision of this Constitution shall, to the extent that it requires the President, the Prime Minister

    or the Public Service Commission to consult the Leader of the Opposition, be suspended.
