112 constituteproject.org Colombia 2021 If the legislative bill whose expedition has been demanded is under study by a standing committee, the committee, at the request of the Government, shall deliberate jointly with the corresponding committee of the other house in order to complete the first reading. Congress shall give priority to the passage of legislative bills that approve treaties concerning human rights that are submitted for consideration by the Government. Once a legislative bill is approved by both houses, it shall be submitted to the Government for its approval. Should the Government see no objections, it shall approve the bill’s promulgation as law; if the Government objects to the bill, it shall be returned to the house in which it originated. The Government has six days to return with its objections any bill that does not include more than twenty articles; ten days should the bill include twenty-one to fifty articles; and up to twenty days should there be over fifty articles. If the prescribed deadline expires without the Government having returned the bill with its objections, the President shall approve and promulgate it. If the houses should begin a recess within the stated deadlines, the President shall be obliged to publish the approved or rejected bills within the above-mentioned deadlines. If the Government objects to a bill totally or in part, the bill shall return to the houses for a second debate. ARTICLE 165 ARTICLE 166 ARTICLE 164 ARTICLE 167
