Legislation through Presidential Orders in the Domain of Organic Laws According to the Algerian Constitutional Amendment of 2020

Abstract

The issue of issuing organic laws through presidential orders is of great importance in the Algerian legal system, given the status of organic laws in the hierarchy of laws. Accordingly, The reliance on presidential Orders for issuing organic laws in the Algerian constitutional amendment of 2020 can be justified through the thematic and procedural framework that regulates each. The President expresses popular sovereignty as elected by the people. These orders contain general and abstract rules that acquire legislative status. The procedures for their proposal and issuance in the executive aspect align with those of organic laws, while they differ in the parliamentary aspect. They are subject to mandatory constitutional control, although they do not achieve the constitutionality review set for organic laws
