The. process of legislation in the French
chambers is very simple, says the Chau-
tauquan. Each chamber may initiate leg
1Siauon upon any subject except the
finances; and bill upon any subject
! whatsoever must be passed in all its
parts by a majority vote in both cham
bers in order to become a law. This is
not only necessary, but it is also sufficient:
veto power upon the legislation of the
chambers The constitution provides a
period of thirty days between the pas
sage of the law by the chambers and its
necessary promulgation by the president
of the republic, and reduces this period to
three days in case the chamber should
vote that PRONUNCIATION is urgent. Within
! these respective periods the president
of the republic may demand of the cham
and they are required by the constitu-
ton to accord to the request. If they re-
pass the measure by majority vote, the
president must yield and promulgate the
law. The chambers can also initiate the
call of the national assembly for the pur-
pose of amending or revising the constr
tuition. The chief question which has arts
en- in the exercise of this power
is whether the chambers can limit the
action of the national assembly by their
agreement beforehand upon the sub
jects in regard to which the constitution
may be amended or revised. The affirm
alive view of this question would be a
security to the rights and powers Of the
smaller body. the Senate, since the ma
tional assembly is composed of the mem
bers of the two chambers il joint assem-
bly,, but the more nunerous deputies have
espoused with great unanimity the mega
tive view; and it must. be recognized that
| they have the logic of OF the matter with
| them. The national assembly is the SOW
ereign power in the constitution and can
not be limited. THEREFORE by a branch OF
the government, or even by. the whole
| government, in it's action The national
| assembly may consider any subject it will
when once it is organized. The chambers
in Joint assembly also elect the president
Of the republic.
