"What Is The Extent Of The Representatives Representation Power?"

What is the extent of the representatives representation power?

 

Answer:

The House of Representative falls under the Legislative department of the government, along with the Senate. The Legislative Branch enacts legislation, confirms or rejects Presidential appointments, and has the authority to declare war. This branch includes Congress (the Senate and House of Representatives) and several agencies that provide support services to Congress.

Explanation:

Lawmakers in the House of Representatives are called Representatives or Congressmen/Congress-women. They are elected to a three-year term by voters in their respective legislative districts. A Representative can serve for not more than three consecutive terms. There are 238 legislative districts in the country. There are 238 representatives elected by district. In addition, there are Representatives elected through the party-list system who constitute not more than twenty percent (20%) of the total number of Representatives.

According to the 1987 constitution, the Congress has been assigned to three main functions:

The first is to make laws, or amend and repeal existing laws. The major pieces of legislation that must pass Congress approval include the annual General Appropriations Act or the national budget, taxes, tariffs, franchises, and certificates or authorizations for operation of public utilities. More so, the Congress may also propose amendments to the Constitution by transforming itself into a Constituent Assembly.

Second, Congress may conduct investigations in aid of legislation, or new laws and policies that the executive may adopt.

Third, Congress is tasked to attend to its constituents or the people who voted the legislators into office.

Aside from these, the Constitution grants Congress more powers, or in truth, duties, which is:

  • To enact laws, including appropriation and taxation measures.
  • To conduct legislative investigations.
  • To request heads of department to appear before it.
  • To act as Board of Canvassers for the presidential elections.
  • To call for special elections for the presidency and the vice presidency.
  • To declare the existence of a state of war and delegate emergency powers.
  • To revoke or extend the privilege of the habeas corpus or the declaration of martial law.
  • To concur in the presidential power to grant amnesty.
  • To confirm certain appointments made by the President.
  • To concur in treaties and international agreements.
  • To decide on the President's ability to discharge the duties of his office when majority of the Cabinet members dispute his declaration that no inability exists.
  • To impeach the President, the Vice President, members of the Supreme Court, members of the constitutional commissions and the Ombudsman.
  • To allow utilization of natural resources.
  • To propose amendments to the Constitution.
