113 Corte Constitucional de Colombia ARTICLE 168 The President shall sign a bill without being able to present objections if it is approved upon reconsideration by an absolute majority of both houses. An exception shall be made if the President vetoes the bill because he/she considers it unconstitutional. If the houses nonetheless insist on the bill’s passage, then it shall be sent to the Constitutional Court so that it may decide on the bill’s constitutionality within the following six (6) days. If the Court finds the bill constitutional, then the President is obligated to sign it. If the Court finds the bill unconstitutional, then it shall be shelved. If the Court decides that part of the bill is unconstitutional, it shall indicate the unconstitutional portion to the originating house so that once the appropriate minister has been heard, the house may rewrite the bill, integrating the Court’s findings. Once this is done, the house shall transmit the bill to the Court for its final ruling. If the President fails to fulfill his/her duty to approve a bill within the deadlines and according to the conditions established by the Constitution, the president of Congress shall approve and promulgate it. The title of an act shall faithfully reflect its contents, and the following formula shall precede the text: “The Congress of Colombia decrees.” ARTICLE 169
