The Enabling law in Venezuela was created as article 203 of the 1999 constitution.[1] Through this law, the National Assembly gives the president its main power - which is to pass laws, for a period of no more than 180 days. This period was later lengthened.[2] The current Enabling law has been granted to Hugo Chávez (2000, 2007, 2010)[3][4] and to Nicolás Maduro (2013, 2015).[5][6]
