{'promulgation': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'ordinance': [3, 0, 0, 0], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'temporary duration': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

Statement 1 is correct. The President has the power to promulgate ordinances, which are laws that have the same effect as Acts of Parliament. These ordinances are generally of temporary duration and are issued when Parliament is not in session.

Statement 2 is also correct. An ordinance promulgated by the President must be approved or ratified by Parliament within six weeks of its re-assembly. If it is not ratified within this time period, it ceases to be in effect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, which states that both statements 1 and 2 are correct.

In summary, the President has the power to promulgate temporary ordinances, and these ordinances must be ratified by Parliament within six weeks of its re-assembly.
