agabusta: Can you compare the number of northern senators to that of South? If really they want to maintain the equity status, each zone must have equal number of states... 4 Likes |

agabusta:only the lower house can impeach. After the impeachment exercise by the house of representative by the majority, the senate makes the trial with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding on the trial. If the President is convicted by two-third majority, the president will be removed. |

The house of reps represent the lower house, while the senate represents the upper house. . . . any decision or bill passed by the house of reps will have to go through the senate before being sent to the executive. . . . . .Just like High Court > Appeal Court > Supreme Court. They call it bicameral legislature which is too expensive to run. . . . .scrap the senate and lets work with only house of reps abeg. |

I think the house of reps has more functions than the senate. In addition to doing vritually everything the senate does, they also checkmate the activities of the senate while the senate directly checmates the power of the executive |

Equalizer: OP, i haven't made any comment here for over a year now but your post caught my attention, According to the Living US Constitution by Saul K Padover which I read over 14 years ago. A member of the house of representative represents the people of his constituency at the congress whereas a senator represents the state. According to that book, there are differences in the functions of the two, however, our own system may differ from that of the US. 3 Likes |

In addition, both houses have specially assigned works. For instance, the senate is empowered to confirm some federal appointments, which includes, appointment of Chief justice & Justices of Supreme Court, President of Court of appeal, Chief Judges of Federal High Courts, Ministers etc 3 Likes |

Very complex but basically the perform distinct functions, the senate has exclusive preserve over foreign policy, ratification of treaties and the approval of presidential nominees in the federal government. While the house has exclusive preserve over money bills, only they can pass a budget...the senate concurs, only they can impeach the president, only they can appropriate supplementary budgets..infact they are the purse keepers of the nation amongst others. these are a few differences but due to the immaturity of the Nigerian government. You can't tell that is why a unicameral legislature can still work and will be more cheaper. 5 Likes |
