Isebe Lomthetho: Ukwenza Imithetho

Isebe lowiso-mthetho lijongene nokwenza imithetho kwaye liyilwe yiBhunga kunye namasebe aliqela oRhulumente, aneenxalenye ezimbini: iNdlu yabameli neNdlu yeeNtlanganiso. Eli sebe lisoloko lithathwa njengelona limeleyo ngokungqalileyo uwiso-mthetho, njengoko amalungu alo enyulwa ngabemi kulo lonke elo lizwe.

Isiseko seBhunga

Inqaku I lomGaqo-siseko wase-U.S. linika onke amagunya owiso-mthetho kwiBhunga leMicimbi yeMigaqo-siseko, nenkqubo enika ngoku igama elikwiminyaka emibini leofisi yamalungu eNdlu ukusuka kwisithili esisekelwe kubemi abangama-45, ngelixa abavoti bephondo ngalinye bekhetha amaSenator amabini, akhonza amagama athabatha iminyaka emithandathu ahambelanayo. Esi sakhiwo se-bimeral sayilwa ukulungelelanisa izilangazelelo zabemi kunye namazwe.

Amalungu eNdlu yabameli kunye neNdlu yeeNtsimbi yoLuntu ivotelwa kumsebenzi wabemi baseMelika kwiphondo ngalinye. Indlu yabameli inika umelo olunolungelelwaniso olusekelwe kubemi bakarhulumente, ngelixa iBharhane inikeza umelo olulinganayo kurhulumente ngamnye kungakhathaliseki ubungakanani.

Amandla Neembopheleleko

Phakathi kwamanye amagunya, isebe lowiso-mthetho lenza yonke imithetho, livakalisa imfazwe, lilawula urhwebo phakathi kwelizwe nakwamanye amazwe, lilawula ukurhafisa nokuchitha imigaqo-nkqubo. UmGaqo-siseko unika iNkqutyana igunya eliphela lokumisela umthetho nokuvakalisa imfazwe, ilungelo lokuqinisekisa okanye ukugatya amadinga amaninzi ooMongameli, kunye namandla anamandla ophando.

Emva kokuveliswa, kubhekiswa ityala kwikomiti efanelekileyo yokuhlola, kukho iikomiti zeBhunga leNtlanganiso ezili-17, ezineekomiti ezincinci ezingama-70, kunye neekomiti zeNdlu yendlu ezingama-23, kunye neekomiti ezingaphantsi ezingama-109. Ikomiti nganye ijonge ummandla othile wenkqubo, kwaye amaqumrhu ancinci athatha imimandla engakumbi yemigaqo-nkqubo ekhethekileyo. Le nkqubo yekomiti inika amathuba amaninzi okungeniswa kwabemi nokubotshwa.

La magumbi mabini ngokusisiseko ayalingana kwiindima nemisebenzi yawo yowiso-mthetho, neNdlu kuphela ekwaziyo ukusungula umthetho wengeniso, kwaye kuphela yiNdlu yeeNdlu yeeNtsimi eziqinisekisa ukugunyaziswa komongameli kunye nezivumelwano zommeli, kodwa ukumiswa komthetho kusoloko kufuna ukuba omabini amagumbi avumelane ngokwahlukeneyo kwisivumelwano esinye esifanayo phambi kokuba asiwe kuMongameli.

Indlela Yokuba Nenxaxheba Kwisebe Elisemthethweni

Zininzi iindlela abemi abanokubandakanyeka ngazo kwisebe lowiso-mthetho ukuze baphembelele inkqubo yomthetho baze baphendule abameli.

Ukukhanyisa Kukhetho

Enye yezona ndlela zisisiseko abemi abathathi-nxaxheba kuzo urhulumente kukusebenzisa ilungelo labo lokuvota, njengangokufaka iibhola kunyulo kumgangatho wengingqi, wesizwe, nakumazwe, abemi banokuthetha ngokuthe ngqo ekukhetheni abameli babo nasekulungiseni inkqubo kawonke-wonke.

Ukukhonza Kwimibhiyozo

Inkonzo kaJury imela enye yezona ndlela zingqalileyo zokuthatha inxaxheba kwinkqubo yokugweba. Abachongi banendima ebalulekileyo ekulawuleni okusesikweni ngokufumana izibakala nokukhupha izigwebo kumatyala olwaphulo-mthetho nawabemi.

Xa ubizelwa kwinkonzo yabachopheli-tyala, yithathe nzulu le mbopheleleko. Eli lithuba lakho lokuthabatha inxaxheba ngqo kwinkqubo yokusesikweni nokuqinisekisa iimvavanyo ezifanelekileyo kubemi abangoowenu. Ngoxa inkonzo yokuchophela ityala ingafuna ixesha elikude emsebenzini okanye kwezinye iimbopheleleko, ngumsebenzi osisiseko woluntu ogcina inkqubo yokulunga isebenza.

Ukuxhasa Imibutho Esemthethweni

Iintlangano ezininzi zizama ukukhuthaza okusesikweni ngenkqubo yenkundla. La maqela azisa amatyala okuvavanya ukuze amisele imizekelo ebalulekileyo engokwasemthethweni, anike abo bangakwaziyo ukufikelela kuyo, aze akhuthaze ukuhlaziywa kwenkqubo yokusesikweni.
