AMMONNEWS - The Senate will begin deliberating on the proposed constitutional amendments endorsed by the Lower House of Parliament on Tuesday, parliamentary sources said.

The announcement of the date to debate the amendments in the same week as the House's endorsement proposes that the Upper House of Parliament may endorse the 41 amendments as referred to it by the Lower House, particularly as the main point of disagreement between the Senate and House of Deputies has been on Article 74A , which stipulates that "if the Chamber of Deputies is dissolved for any reason, the new chamber shall not be dissolved for the same reason."

The House on Saturday had passed the amendments proposed by the Royal Commission on Constitutional Review with 98 lawmakers voting for the changes.

The Senate's Legal Affairs ad-hoc Committee had convened on Sunday in a morning and afternoon session headed by Senate President Taher Masri to discuss the 2011 Proposed Constitutional Amendments.

The Committee had been working for days in conjunction with the Lower House to speed up the process of endorsing the amendments.
