«We want to point out that
in any discussion with our partners we have to start from a fundamental constitutional principle, the same
in the US and Romania, according to which the
debates, decisions and votes
in the Parliament take place
in the name of the sovereignty of the people and can not be the object of any form of pressure,»
reads the quoted communiqué issued by the heads of the two
Chambers.
However, here's the most important part: House and Senate officials should be permitted to disclose specific examples of Executive or Judicial overreach from the plain
reading of the law, as long as it occurs during an open
debate on the floor of their respective
chambers or
in their committees.
