What is the role of the President when it comes to resolving differences between the two Houses over Bills?
The President plays a role in resolving differences between the two Houses over Bills when they cannot agree on certain amendments. According to Article 108 of the Constitution, if after a Bill has been passed by one House and is pending in the other House for at least six months and the two Houses still do not agree, then the President can summon a joint sitting of both Houses to resolve the differences over the Bill (Article 108(2)). The Bill would then be considered as passed if it is agreed to by a majority of all members present and voting in that joint sitting.
