| Description |
Senate of Spain
Senado de Espana
The Constitution of 1978 established a two-chamber system. The Spanish Parliament is made up of the Congress and the Senate, and both Chambers represent all of Spain. According section 66 the Constitution their functions are the exercise of the legislative power of the State, the adoption of its budget, the control of the action of the Government, and the rest of powers granted by the Constitution. However, this two-chamber system does not mean that Congress and the Senate operate on the same level. The Constitution has endowed Congress with a series of duties and powers that demonstrate its supremacy. In this way, Congress authorizes the formation of the Government, has the power to cause its cessation, is the first to know about procedures of bills and of budgets, and must confirm or reject amendments or vetoes that the Senate may approve concerning these legislative texts.
