（单词翻译）

 　　Venezuela's Supreme1 Court president says that the forthcoming inauguration2 of ailing3 President Hugo Chavez can legally be postponed4.


　　Luisa Estella Morales is the Supreme Court President.

　　"Although on January 10 a new constitutional period begins, a new swearing-in ceremony is not necessary for President Hugo Chavez as re-elected president, by virtue5 of the fact that there is no interruption in the exercise of his duties."

　　The ruling comes amid a heated debate between the government and opposition6 over whether the constitution requires the cancer-stricken leader to be sworn in for a new term on Thursday.

　　The congress has voted to delay the ceremony.

　　Chavez, who underwent his fourth cancer-related surgery in Cuba last month, hasn't spoken publicly in a month.

　　Opposition leaders have insisted that the National Assembly president should take over temporarily as interim7 leader and that the Supreme Court should appoint a panel of doctors to determine Chavez's condition and whether he is fit to remain in office.
