Circumstances

The President may take a decision on the resignation of the Government, or the house may table a motion of no confidence in the Government (Article 117 of the Constitution).

Modalites

The President may take such a decision at his discretion. A no confidence resolution is adopted by a majority of votes of the total number of deputies of the house. After the house tables a motion of no confidence in the Government, the President is free to announce the resignation of the Government or to reject the house decision.

Consequences

If the house tables a further motion of no confidence in the Government, the President announces the resignation of the Government or dissolves the house. In the first case, the Chairman of the Government resigns along with his cabinet.
