DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN

THE ROLE AND


RESPONSIBILITY OF
PHILIPPINE SENATE &
HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES 1
1. HOW MANY DAYS DOES IT TYPICALLY
TAKE FOR A LAW TO BE APPROVED?
 A bill may become a law, even without the President's
signature, if the President does not sign a bill within 30
days from receipt in his office. A bill may also become a
law without the President's signature if Congress overrides
a presidential veto by two-thirds vote.

 Congress can override a presidential veto by a two-thirds


vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
This means that if at least two-thirds of the members in
each chamber vote in favor of the bill, it becomes law
despite the President's disapproval.

2. WHAT HAPPENS IF A LAW IS NOT
APPROVED OR IS FORGOTTEN IN THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS?
A law that is not approved or is forgotten in the
legislative process simply does not become a law. This means
it has no legal force and cannot be enforced. When the bill
is forgotten, a bill that is not acted upon by the end of a
congressional session is considered “dead” and must be
reintroduced in the next session to be considered again.
