Constitution of Hayti. 
88. The authoritative interpretation of the laws is given in 
the ordinary form of laws. 
89. Neither of the two Chambers can pais any resolution, 
unless an absolute majority of its members be assembled. 
90. Every resolution is passed by the absolute majority of 
votes, except in cases defined by the Constitution. 
91. The votes are taken by the Senators rising or remaining 
seated. In case of doubt, the roll is called, and the votes are 
then recorded by Yes or No. 
92. Each Chamber has the right of inquiry into all things 
appertaining to it. 
98. No project of law can be adopted by one of the Cham¬ 
bers, until each separate article of it has been passed. 
94. Each Chamber has the right to amend and divide the 
articles and amendments proposed. 
An amendment voted by one Chamber can be included in the 
articles of the law, only when it shall have been adopted by the 
other Chamber. 
The organs of the Executive have the power to propose 
amendments to projects under discussion by virtue of the initia¬ 
tive possessed by the Chambers. 
95. Every law passed by the two Chambers is immediately 
forwarded to the Executive, which has the right to object thereto. 
When objections are made, the law is sent back to the Cham¬ 
ber in which it was first voted, and the objections notified. If 
they are approved, the law is amended by the two Chambers, 
and promulgated by the Executive. 
96. If the Executive makes objections to a law adopted by 
the two Chambers, and if these objections are not approved by 
these Chambers, or by one of them, the Executive has a right to 
refuse its sanction to the law. 
Nevertheless, if a dissolution of the Chamber of Representa¬ 
tives should happen thereon, and if the same law were again 
voted by the two Chambers, the Executive would be bound to 
promulgate it.
