Of her transition to Matignon – she is the second woman to be prime minister in France after the lightning transition of Edith Cresson between 15 May 1991 and 2 April 1992 – Borne will leave the memory of a tenacious person who was forced to constantly maneuver to get his reforms approved due to the absence of an absolute majority in the Assemblée Nationale, the French Chamber of Deputies. Evidence of this is the use of article 49.3 of the French Constitution which allows a bill to be imposed without a parliamentary vote.
