Today, Monday the Revisory Assembly will continue with its task of approving the second reading of the new Constitution as it deals with the attributes of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies and the Congress in general, such as its composition and the effect of the laws and all aspects of the National Assembly and the joint sessions of the chambers. It is taken for granted that the PLD-PRD pact will be respected and the part that says that the Chamber of Deputies is responsible for submitting a list of Chamber of Accounts candidates to the Senate for selection, passed in the first reading, will be revoked. After these articles, the assembly members will discuss the popular legislative initiative and Title IV that relates to the Executive Power, which covers the issue of consecutive presidential election, also a part of the pact between President Leonel Fernandez and PRD leader Miguel Vargas Maldonado.
In addition, the titles of the State Secretariats and vice-secretariats will be changed to the more useful "Ministries", and they will also deal with the issue of presidential succession and the attributes of the Executive Branch. During the week the Assembly will deal with the reform of the Judicial Power and the creation of the Constitutional Tribunal, a proposal that was reconsidered by the verification and auditing commission, and the issues affecting local governments.
