Mr. President, a few days ago a Senate bill was recalled from the President precisely similar to this one. Understanding that after a bill had been signed by the presiding officers of the two Houess of Congress it could not be reconsidered and amended, I introduced a new bill, which was passed through the Senate and sent to the other House. I want now to ask the Chair whether, in his opinion, it is competent for this body to reconsider and amend a bill that has received the signatures of the presiding officers of the two Houses?
