Method, confidence and limits
In each order’s English text we count: the Administrator’s powers (“the Administrator may/shall”), “notwithstanding” clauses that place the text above other law, immunity clauses, penalty clauses, and consultation with the Governing Council or the Iraqi government. The counts are established by the text; their meaning is a question.
