Question on a legislation term
What's the English for an act (resolution or law) issued by the Government and put in effect disregarding the consent of the Parliament (to avoid delays, bureaucracy, negotiations)? Literally, in my language it is called "Emergency Resolution".
I saw, on wikipedia, "executive order", but it seemd to be issued by the president, while I am interested in the one issued by the prime minister..
Or is it "government decree"?
Thx a lot for your help!

Hi,
For the Parliamentary system, you may be thinking of 'an order in council'.
Have a look here.
