Abstract

The rule of law and democracy presupposes respect for the legislative process; hence, it is necessary to observe procedural constitutional rules for the elaboration of normative acts and innovation of the legal system. The parliamentary prerogative to present amendments to a bill or to convert a provisional executive order into a law must observe the thematic pertinence, under penalty of violating the Federal Constitution, and ultimately fomenting the institutional crisis and tarnish the democratic regime itself.
