Claim: In the 1998 Lebanese presidential election, Emile Lahoud was elected to be President of the Lebanese Republic; in the Lebanese Constitution, a majority of two-thirds of the 128-seat Parliament would be required to elect him; every deput in attendance voted for him.
Evidence: On the first round, every deputy voted for Emile Lahoud, thus immediately making him the 11th President of the Lebanese Republic. Under the article 49 of the Lebanese Constitution, a qualified majority of two-thirds of the members of the 128-seat Lebanese Parliament is required to elect the president.
