| Venezuela Lawmakers Give Maduro Power to Rule by Decree for One Year |
| 2013-11-20 |
 [An Nahar] Venezuela's National Assembly on Tuesday gave President Nicolas Maduro wide-ranging special powers to rule by decree for one year.

| #5 His first decree will probably be to make it a lifetime thing. Your third wish should always be for more wishes, after all. |
