Captain is blowing smoke again... * the President must be a Maronite Catholic Christian. * the Prime Minister must be a Sunni Muslim, and * the Speaker of the Parliament must be a Shi'a Muslim. The Speaker BTW can veto anything... Do your own work... Captain my a$$ :O) I yam what I yam Popeye EDIT The Speaker of the Parliament, who must be a Shi'a Muslim, is elected to a four-year term. He forms part of a "troika" together with the President (required to be a Maronite Christian) and the Prime Minister (a Sunni Muslim). The privileges of the Speaker are unusually powerful, relative to other democratic systems; for example, the Speaker is able to veto any legislation passed by a majority of parliament. The current speaker is the leader of the Amal Party, Nabih Berri.
