After the resignation<\/a> of ex Prime Minister Hariri and the consequent dissolution of his cabinet, here are some of the procedural facts. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

FIRST:<\/b> We note that though the government is resigned, until the appointment of a new Prime Minister and cabinet, the existing ministers will resume their duties in what is known as a caretaker government<\/b>. This means that the same ministers will continue their duties in their official capacities. <\/p>\n

NEXT:<\/b> The president is to hold consultations with each parliamentary bloc, wherein they will each nominate a candidate for prime minister. Note that there is nothing preventing the blocs from nominating Hariri for the post again. <\/i><\/p>\n

AFTER THAT:<\/b> The president shares the results with the speaker of parliament and issues a decree designating the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

THEN:<\/B> The designated Prime Minister conducts parliamentary consultations (with members of parliament) for the formation of a government.<\/p>\n

Hold for Baklawa break.<\/I><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

FOLLOWED BY:<\/B> The President and the designated Prime Minister signing the decree and officially forming the government.<\/p>\n

ALMOST THERE:<\/b> The newly formed government must present its general statement of policy to the Parliament within 30 days of being formed.<\/p>\n

AND FINALLY:<\/B> Cabinet must gain a confidence vote at Parliament, with a minimum of 65 out of 128 votes required. <\/p>\n
