English was invariably used in the bills which were signed by the president in that. language. No bill in Erse may be presented for signature unless it has been passed by both houses in that language. One problem is that:there is no authoritative decision on the Erse equivalents of terms which have! acquired a special legal signifi-| cance in English. Proposals for legislation in this regard have been under consideration for some time. When the president signs a bill in only one of the official lan-} guages, an official translation is issued in the other language; but since this translation has not been passed by both houses and is not! signed by the president it has not the force of law.
