Abstract
In all democracies the parliamentary Rules of procedure are usually recognized as a case of autonomous regulation of the chambers. Besides this common denominator, rules of procedure of the Congress of Deputies and the Senate have their own characteristics, which have been developed over the last forty years. Thus, the need for approval by an absolute majority, which hinders its reform; its possible challenge before the Constitutional Court, which has favored its classification as a norm with the force of law; from the above the control of internal acts, by violation of these internal rules and by means of the appeal for protection of fundamental rights, and finally the intervention of the ordinary law in matters that should be reserved to these provisions.
