L'avvento del fascismo vede Orlando tra i suoi benevoli sostenitori: fa parte, con Antonio Salandra e Gaetano Mosca, della commissione incaricata di esaminare il progetto di legge Acerbo, che dava al partito o alla coalizione che avesse ottenuto alle elezioni almeno il 25% dei voti, i due terzi dei seggi parlamentari.

Vittorio Emanuele Orlando (May 19 1860 - December 1 1952) was an Italian diplomat and political figure.
After the Italian military disaster at Caporetto on October 25, 1917, which led to the fall of the Boselli government, Orlando became Prime Minister, and continued in that role through the rest of the war.
