Article 99.3: The Executive Power shall never issue lawmaking decisions. These kinds of measures will be considered null and void.

Only when exceptional circumstances make it impossible to follow the ordinary lawmaking process established by this Constitution, the Executive can issue NUDs insofar as they do not regulate penal, fiscal, electoral or political party matters. NUDs must be decided by the Cabinet assembled and must be countersigned by the Cabinet Chief and the other Ministers.

Within ten days the Cabinet Chief will personally submit the NUD to a Permanent Bicameral Committee which will be composed proportionally according to the political representation of the House and the Senate. The Committee will send its opinion to the floor within ten days. The House and the Senate must immediately consider the opinion. A special act, passed by the positive vote of the majority of the members of the House and the Senate, will determine the proceedings and effects of the Congress intervention in this matter.
