Taking amendment No. (1), I feet Sir, that the expression used in Mr. Munshi’s motion is somewhat clumsy. When the House adopts a resolution, ipso facto the President is authorized in pursuance of that resolution. It is not necessary to state in a Resolution that the President is authorized to do such and such a thing. We resolve that the President do take steps and that itself is an authorization and a request; and I, therefore, feel that the words “authorization and request” are unnecessary for the purpose of this motion, and moreover they detract from the dignity of a motion to be adopted by this House.
