Tribal Assembly
One law, the "Lex Clodia de Auspiciis" ("The Law of Clodius on the Auspices"), prevented the Roman Magistrates, who presided over the legislative assemblies, from dissolving the assemblies (specifically, the Tribal Assembly), by declaring that unfavourable omens (auspices) had been observed. This had been an ordinary form of legislative obstruction for centuries, and was formally codified around the year 150 BC by the "Lex Aelia et Fufia". Pompey, for example, was known to have used this obstructive device at least once. Thus, in effect, this law repealed the "Lex Aelia et Fufia".
