Proceeding contribution from James Gray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 21 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill.
Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill
The hon. Gentleman is repeating a point made earlier in the debate about the difference between the United States and the United Kingdom. Does he accept that there is a fundamental, constitutional difference: the President of the United States is not a member of Congress or answerable to Congress, whereas the Prime Minister is a Member of the House, and if he does something wrong, he can be chucked out, whereas the President cannot?
