The European Parliament is the parliament of the European Community. It is bicameral, consisting of a 58-Member (two from each member State) appointed upper house styled “European Council”, and a 751-Member elected lower house called “European Assembly”. The Consent of Council and Assembly is required in every instance of the legislative process, and before a Bill may become an Act of Parliament and thus a Law of the European Community, it must be approved by the High Chancellor of the European Community or, if disapproved by him, re-passed in the Council and Assembly by two-thirds of their respective Members.

Enacting clause[edit | edit source]
The enacting clause used for legislative measures in the European Parliament depends on its use and purpose. For instance, for bills (Acts of Parliament), the enacting clause is, “Be it enacted by the Council and Assembly of the European Community in this present Parliament assembled”. For joint resolutions involving both Houses of Parliament, the enacting clause is, “Be it Resolved by the Council and Assembly of the European Community in this present Parliament assembled”; while the clause used for European Council resolutions is, “Be it Resolved by the Council of the European Community”; and “Be it Resolved by the Assembly of the European Community” is used for resolutions involving only the European Assembly.
The European Parliament’s enacting clauses are based on those used by the United States Congress (For Bills and Joint Resolutions: “Be it [enacted/resolved] by the Senate and House of Representatives of the the United States of North Aegea in Congress assembled”; and for Resolutions involving only one house: “Be it Resolved by the [Senate / House of Representatives] of the United States of North Aegea”).
