Talk:Proclamation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article incorporates text from the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, now in the public domain.

The article needs some information on United States Presidential Proclamations. As it currently stands, it is too focussed toward the British system. In the United States, presidential proclamations have the full force of law (e.g., The Emancipation Proclamation). A good discussion of how this fits in with the system of checks and balances as laid out in the U.S. Constitution will be very useful.

ps. I did a basic google search and found that there is surprisingly little information about U.S. Presidential Proclamations on the internet !

[edit] Declaration/proclamation

Could someone please explain the difference between declaration and proclamation. The infobox in the article Latvia uses both terms (see 'independence' section). --Eleassar ^{my talk} 09:42, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mayoral Proclamations

I don't know if it's just San Francisco that does this, but can we have some info on the type of proclamation that Gavin Newsom was going to award to Snoop Dogg? See the last entry at Snoop Dogg#legal issues Rojomoke (talk) 23:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
