About this statute

This provision is the preamble to Law 5 of 1992, which states that it sets the rules for Congress, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. This article says the statute sets the rules for meetings and the organization and functioning of the Senate, the House of Representatives, and Congress in plenary. The regulation says its rules must be interpreted and applied using principles like procedural speed, formal correctness, majority rule, and protection of minority representation. If the Regulation has no applicable rule, interpret it using similar cases, matters, or procedures, and if needed, constitutional case law and doctrine. The Constitution is the highest rule, and if any law or legal norm conflicts with it, the constitutional provisions apply.
