A Correct answer

Parliamentary approval of emergency proclamation requires a special majority (not simple or absolute). Special majority means: (a) majority of total membership + (b) 2/3 of members present and voting. This higher threshold prevents misuse of emergency powers. Simple majority is insufficient for such a serious matter.
