FUNCTIONS OF CONGRESS
The primary function of the Legislative branch is
the creation, enactment and amendment of
laws. Proposed laws may come from the
Senators or Representatives themselves, the
people they
represent (district, province or the party) or the
other two branches of the government.
39
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides many
instances when Congress can invoke this power:
1. Congress has the power to remove from office
impeachable government officials, including the
President, Vice President, members of the Supreme
Court, members of constitutional commissions, and the
Ombudsman. The House of Representatives can tackle
impeachment complaints and submit the resolution
setting the Articles of Impeachment. The Senate,
meanwhile, decides on cases of impeachment in a fullblown trial.
40
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides many
instances when Congress can invoke this power:
2. Congress has the “sole power to declare the
existence of a state of war,” according to Section 23
Article VI of the Constitution. A vote of two-thirds of both
Houses, voting separately, is needed.
41
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides many
instances when Congress can invoke this power:
3. Congress can revoke the President’s proclamation
of martial law by a vote of at least a majority of all
members of the Senate and the House. If requested,
Congress can also extend the period of martial law
beyond the mandated 60 days.
42
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides many
instances when Congress can invoke this power:
4. Congress may authorize the President to exercise
powers to carry out a declared national policy “for a
limited period and subject to restrictions” in times of war
or other national emergency,
43
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides many
instances when Congress can invoke this power:
5. Congressional committees can conduct hearings
“in aid of legislation” on various issues that affect the
nation and release a report based on findings. For
example, the Senate committee in August 2018
conducted a hearing on the TRAIN law’s impact on
inflation amid rising prices of commodities.
44
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides many
instances when Congress can invoke this power:
6. Congress is also involved in the national budget
process. It can decide whether or not to add or reduce a
government agency’s budget, effectively overseeing
budget appropriations and being on guard against
suspected corruption. This, however, may lead to several
clashes, as seen in the 2019 budget that was just passed
on Friday, February 8, after months of delay.
45
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides many
instances when Congress can invoke this power:
7. Congress, through the Commission on
Appointments, can approve or reject some key
appointments made by the president to government
agencies.
46
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides many
instances when Congress can invoke this power:
8. Congress needs to concur with
any amnesty granted by the president, according
to Section 19, Article VII of the Constitution. A vote of
majority of all members is needed.
47
The 1987 Philippine Constitution provides many
instances when Congress can invoke this power:
9. Congress is heavily involved in starting charter
change. It can either convene into a Constituent
Assembly (through a vote of three-fourths of all
members) and propose both amendments and revisions,
or call for an election of members of a Constitutional
Convention (vote of two-thirds of its members).
