Explanation:
Article 213 of the Indian Constitution gives the governor of a state the right to enact ordinances. This Article authorizes the Governor to issue an Ordinance during the legislature’s recess if circumstances necessitate prompt action.

The Governor cannot enact an ordinance if it contains elements that, if enacted as a bill, would require the President’s approval.
