Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The founding fathers of the 1958 Constitution wanted to relegate Parliament to a secondary role within the institutions and they have durably succeeded in doing so. Both the constitutional framework (the Constitution and its interpretation) and the electoral rules (voting system and schedule) have made sure that the two chambers would respect the precedence of presidential power. The practice of parliamentary actors, both in the usage they have made of their powers and their inability to use the resources of bicameralism, has ensured the long-term sustainability of this subordination.
