The Bundestag (parliament) expressed no confidence in German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder by a majority vote, RIA Novosti reports. \n \nThe head of government himself initiated the vote on this issue in order to open the way for early parliamentary elections. To do this, the Bundestag must be dissolved, and the German Constitution does not allow self-dissolution of parliament. \n \nThe expression of no confidence in the Chancellor will give President Horst Koehler the opportunity to dissolve the Bundestag and set a date for holding early elections. \n \nThey are expected to take place on September 18.
