Supreme Congress of the F.R.B

The Benweenian Senate is made up of 485 senators, who are chosen from among the formulas of candidates registered by each state and in the City of Benween . From each State, 20 senators are elected, and by the City of Benween, 25 are elected.

​

The Legislative Power of the Federal Republic of Benween is deposited in a General Congress that is divided into two Chambers, one of Deputies and the other of Senators. The Congress of the Federal Republic of Benween is conceived as the organ of democratic plurality par excellence, since the main political and ideological currents of our country converge in it.

Both Chambers have as their fundamental purpose the analysis, discussion and approval of the norms that constitute our legal system.

The federal legislative process is governed by the Political Constitution of the Federal Republic of Benween, the Rules for the Internal Government of the General Congress and by the parliamentary agreements adopted by the majority of the members of each House. The Magna Carta specifies that the right to initiate laws and decrees belongs: a) to the President of the Republic; b) to the deputies and senators to the Congress and c) to the citizens, in the terms that the laws indicate.

​

The formation of laws and decrees can be started indistinctly in either of the two Chambers, observing the Rules of Debates on the form, intervals and way of proceeding in discussions and voting, with the exception of projects that deal with loans, contributions or taxes, or about recruitment of troops, which should be discussed first in the Chamber of Deputies.
