Ordinance making power:
The ordinance making power is the most important legislative power of the President and the Governor. It has been vested in them to deal with unforeseen or urgent situations.
Article 123 of the Constitution grants the President certain law-making powers to promulgate ordinances during the recess of Parliament.
These ordinances have the same force and effect as an Act of Parliament but are in the nature of temporary laws.
Likewise, the Governor of a state can issue ordinances under Article 213 of the Constitution, when the state legislative assembly (or either of the two Houses in states with bicameral legislatures) is not in session.
The Constitution permits the central and State governments to make laws when Parliament (or the State Legislature) is not in session.
