The House of Representatives also had much greater jurisdiction over financial bills; the Senate could not amend them, although it might veto them. Except in the case of amendments to the Constitution, over which a veto of the Senate was absolute, the House of Representatives might override a Senatorial veto by passing the same bill a second time, in the parliamentary session immediately following the one in which it was rejected by the Senate, after a minimum period of six months.Also, the Prime Minister and Cabinet were required to retain the confidence of a majority of the House of Representatives in order to remain in office.The House of Representatives was suspended by the 2006 military coup.
