elected members in either house constitutes a quorum to do business therein (Section 10), contrary to the provision for the United States Congress requiring only a majority. A smaller number in each House is empowered to adjourn from day to day, and compel the attendance of absent members. As with the United States Constitution, either house may originate bills (Section 31), but bills to raise revenue must originate in the House of Representatives (Section 33). Section 39 allows a bill to take effect immediately upon the Governor's signature if the bill passes both chambers by a two-thirds vote, unless otherwise specified in the bill.
