In order to craft laws, the legislative body
comes out with two main documents:
bills
resolutions.
Resolutions
convey principles and sentiments of
the Senate or the House of
Representatives.
Three different elements of
Resolutions
joint resolutions — require the approval of both chambers of
Congress and the signature of the President, and have the
force and effect of a law if approved
concurrent resolutions — used for matters affecting the
operations of both chambers of Congress and must be
approved in the same form by both houses, but are not
transmitted to the President for his signature and therefore
have no force and effect of a law.
simple resolutions — deal with matters entirely within the
prerogative of one chamber of Congress, are not referred to
the President for his signature, and therefore have no force
and effect of a law.
Bills
are laws in the making. They pass into law when they are
approved by both houses and the President of the
Philippines. A bill may be vetoed by the President, but the
House of Representatives may overturn a presidential veto by
garnering a 2/3rds vote. If the President does not act on a
proposed law submitted by Congress, it will lapse into law
after 30 days of receipt.
Bills and Resolution What’s the
Difference?
Generally, there is no legal difference between a Bill
and a joint Resolution as both must be passed in
exactly the same form by both chambers of Congress
and signed by the President(or passed in override of a
presidential veto or remain unsigned in 10 days (while
congress is in session) to become a law.
The Legislative Process
1.First Reading - Any member of either
house may present a proposed bill,
signed by him, for First Reading and
reference to the proper committee. During
the First Reading, the principal author of the
bill may propose the inclusion of
additional authors thereof.
The Legislative Process
2. Referral to Appropriate Committee -
Immediately after the First Reading, the bill is
referred to the proper committee or
committees for study and consideration. If
disapproved in the committee, the bill dies a
natural death unless the House decides other
wise, following the submission of the report.
The Legislative Process
3. Second Reading - If the committee reports the
bill favorably, the bills is forwarded to the
Committee on Rules so that it may be calendared
for deliberation on Second Reading. At this stage,
the bill is read for the second time in its entirely,
together with the amendments, if any, proposed by
the committee, unless the reading is dispensed
with by a majority vote of the House.
The Legislative Process
4. Debates - A general debate is then opened
after the Second Reading and amendments
may be proposed by any member of
Congress. The insertion of changes or
amendments shall be done in accordance with
the rules of either House. The House may
either "kill" or pass the bill.
The Legislative Process
5. Third Reading - At this stage, only the title
of the bill is read. Upon the last reading of a
bill, no amendment thereto is allowed and the
vote thereon is taken immediately thereafter,
and yeas and nays entered in the journal. A
member may abstain. As a rule, a majority of
the members constituting a quorum is
sufficient to pass a bill
The Legislative Process
6. Printing and Distribution - After approval of the
bill on Second Reading, the bills is then ordered
printed in its final form and copies of it are
distributed among the members of the House
three days before its passage, except when the
bill was certified by the President. A bill approved
on Second Reading shall be included in the
calendar of bills for Third Reading.
The Legislative Process
7. Referral to the Other House -
If approved, the bill is then
referred to the other House
where substantially the same
procedure takes place.
The Legislative Process
8. Submission to Joint Bicameral Committee
- Differences, if any, between the House's bill
and the Senate's amended version, and vice
versa are submitted to a conference
committee of members of both Houses for
compromise. If either House accepts the
changes made by the other, no compromise is
necessary.
Legislative Process:
How a Bill Becomes a Law
Powers and Functions of the Congress
1. Congress has the power to remove from office
impeachable government officials, including the
President, Vice President, members of the Supreme
Court, members of constitutional commissions, and the
Ombudsman. The House of Representatives can tackle
impeachment complaints and submit the
resolution setting the Articles of Impeachment. The
Senate, meanwhile, decides on cases of impeachment in
a full-blown trial.
Powers and Functions of the Congress
2. Congress has the “sole power to
declare the existence of a state
of war,” according to Section 23 Article
VI of the Constitution. A vote of two-
thirds of both Houses, voting separately,
is needed.
Powers and Functions of the Congress
3. Congress can revoke the President’s
proclamation of martial law by a vote of at
least a majority of all members of the Senate
and the House. If requested, Congress can
also extend the period of martial law beyond
the mandated 60 days.
Powers and Functions of the Congress
4. Congress may authorize the
President to exercise powers to carry
out a declared national policy “for a
limited period and subject to restrictions"
in times of war or other national
emergency.
Powers and Functions of the Congress
5. Congressional committees can conduct
hearings "in aid of legislation” on various
issues that affect the nation and release a report
based on findings. For example, the Senate
committee in August 2018 conducted a hearing
on the TRAIN law's impact on inflation amid
rising prices of commodities.
Powers and Functions of the Congress
6. Congress is also involved in the national
budget process. It can decide whether or not
to add or reduce a government agency’s
budget, effectively overseeing budget
appropriations and being on guard against
suspected corruption. This, however, may lead
to several clashes, as seen in the 2019 budget
Powers and Functions of the Congress
7. Congress, through the
Commission on Appointments,
can approve or reject some key
appointments made by the
president to government
agencies.
Powers and Functions of the Congress
8. Congress needs to concur with
any amnesty granted by
the president, according to Section
19, Article VII of the Constitution.
A vote of majority of all members is
needed.
Powers and Functions of the Congress
9. Congress is heavily involved in starting
charter change. It can either convene into a
Constituent Assembly (through a vote of three-
fourths of all members) and propose both
amendments and revisions, or call for an election
of members of a Constitutional Convention (vote
of two-thirds of its members).
