A president issues an executive order increasing the salaries of all civil servants by 15% without obtaining the approval of the National Assembly. In the same month, the president appoints a new minister without the required confirmation by the Senate. Identify which of these actions are unconstitutional and cite the specific constitutional sections that render them invalid.

Answer Options

B. The salary increase is constitutional under Section 165, but the ministerial appointment breaches Section 147.
