Local Government Code Of The Philippines
Codification of laws is a common practice in the Philippines. Many general areas of substantive law, such as criminal law, civil law and labor law are governed by legal codes. Tradition of codification Codification is predominant in countries that adhere to the legal system of civil law. Spain, a civil law country, introduced the practice of codification in the Philippines, which it had colonized beginning in the late 16th century. Among the codes that Spain enforced in the Philippines were the Spanish Civil Code and the Penal Code. The practice of codification was retained during the period of American colonial period, even though the United States was a common law jurisdiction.

Casting Vote
A casting vote is a vote that someone may exercise to resolve a tied vote in a deliberative body. A casting vote is typically by the presiding officer of a council, legislative body, committee, etc., and may only be exercised to break a deadlock. Examples of presiding officers who hold casting votes are the Speaker of the House of Commons in the United Kingdom and the President of the United States Senate (an ex-officio role of the Vice President of the United States). In some legislatures, a casting vote may be exercised however the presiding officer wishes. For example, the Vice President of the United States may exercise their casting vote when the Senate is evenly divided according to their own personal beliefs; by virtue of the Vice President's political leanings and affiliations, the Vice President's political party is able to serve as the majority party in the Senate and elect one of their own to serve as Majority Leader. In some other legislatures, by contrast, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
