What power does each House have over its own members’ behavior?
What power does each House have over its own members’ behavior? Each House may determine its own rules of proceedings and punish members for disorderly behavior. With a two-thirds vote of all its members, a House can suspend or even expel a member. However, any penalty of suspension must not exceed sixty days. This disciplinary authority is established in Article VI, Section 16 3 1987 Philippine Constitution. “(3) Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds of all its Members, suspend or expel a Member. A penalty of suspension, when imposed, shall not exceed sixty days.” 01-Feb-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
