The legislature is not in session: The President can only promulgate an Ordinance when either of the two Houses of Parliament is not in session. Immediate action is required: The President cannot promulgate an Ordinance unless he is satisfied that there are circumstances that require taking 'immediate action'.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Ordinances are laws that are promulgated by the President of India on the recommendation of the Union Cabinet, which will have the same effect as an Act of Parliament. They can only be issued when Parliament is not in session. They enable the Indian government to take immediate legislative action.
