Talk:Proclamation

Latest comment: 14 years ago by Rojomoke in topic Mayoral Proclamations

The article needs some information on United States Presidential Proclamations. As it currently stands, it is too focussed toward the British system. In the United States, presidential proclamations have the full force of law (e.g., The Emancipation Proclamation). A good discussion of how this fits in with the system of checks and balances as laid out in the U.S. Constitution will be very useful.

ps. I did a basic google search and found that there is surprisingly little information about U.S. Presidential Proclamations on the internet !

Declaration/proclamation

Could someone please explain the difference between declaration and proclamation. The infobox in the article Latvia uses both terms (see 'independence' section). --Eleassar my talk 09:42, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proclamation: It is state of ones proclamation with basis of legal entity, customary and tribal heritage.

Mayoral Proclamations

I don't know if it's just San Francisco that does this, but can we have some info on the type of proclamation that Gavin Newsom was going to award to Snoop Dogg? See the last entry at Snoop Dogg#legal issues Rojomoke (talk) 23:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

It's not just San Francisco that does it. Just about every municipality in the United States allows and has proclamations for individuals and groups. It's honorarial and nonbinding, just official recognition for the individual or group. But I'm surprised that this coverage isn't in the article. (And before you say, 'Write It,' I'm hoping some civic minded person with sources ready to hand might do so.) ETA... forgot to add sig, sorry! 98.228.92.5 (talk) 14:31, 18 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
