Yep. Our current constitution was designed by De Gaulle, who was military and not too big on parliament power. From the official presidential website "Élysée" (name of the palace where presidential powet resides in France) : While it is based on the Constitution of 1946, the 1958 Constitution is different, as its purpose was to strengthen executive power and stabilize the government, making it more difficult for the Assembly to overthrow.
Sounds like it's time to destabilize the government and overthrow the presidency.
Maybe the Assembly can't do it, but the people sure could.
