As per previous link:

http://www.cpa-iraq.org/government/TAL.htmlArticle 3.

(A) This Law is the Supreme Law of the land and shall be binding in all parts of Iraq without exception. No amendment to this Law may be made except by a three-fourths majority of the members of the National Assembly and the unanimous approval of the Presidency Council. Likewise, no amendment may be made that could abridge in any way the rights of the Iraqi people cited in Chapter Two; extend the transitional period beyond the timeframe cited in this Law; delay the holding of elections to a new assembly; reduce the powers of the regions or governorates; or affect Islam, or any other religions or sects and their rites.

Three-fourths majority could amend the TAL to give the Iraqi officials more time. If they fail to approve the draft constitution or give themselves more time by midnight Iraq time the government falls. New election & more purple fingers.
