In consequence, therefore, all the constitutional provisions in respect of joint action by the President and the Vice-President of the Republic to be modified accordingly. #The Greek President of the House of Representatives and its Turkish Vice-President to be elected by the House as a whole and not as at present the President by the Greek Members of the House and the Vice-President by the Turkish Members of the House. #The Vice-President of the House of Representatives to deputise for or replace the President of the House in case of his temporary absence or incapacity to perform his duties. #The constitutional provisions regarding separate majority for enactment of Laws by the House of Representatives to be abolished. #The constitutional provision regarding the establishment of separate Municipalities in the five main towns to be abolished.
