Section 15.-No Senator or Representative may, during the
term for which he was elected or chosen, be appointed to any civil
office in the Government of Puerto Rico, its municipalities or
instrumentalities, which shall have been created or the salary of
which shall have been increased during said term. No person
may hold office in the Government of Puerto Rico, its municipali-
ties or instrumentalities and be a Senator or Representative at
the same time. These provisions shall not prevent a member
of the Legislative Assembly from being designated to perform
functions ad honorem.
Section 16.-The Legislative Assembly shall have the power
to create, consolidate or reorganize executive departments and to
define their functions.
Section 17.-No bill shall become a law unless it has been
printed, read, referred to a committee and returned therefrom
with a written report, but either house may discharge a committee
from the study and report of any bill and proceed to the con-
sideration thereof. Each house shall keep a journal of its pro-
ceedings and of the votes cast for and against bills. The legis-
lative proceedings shall be published in a daily record in the form
determined by law. Every bill, except general appropriation bills,
shall be confined to one subject, which shall be clearly expressed
in its title, and any part of an act whose subject has not been
expressed in the title shall be void. The general appropriation
act shall contain only appropriations and rules for their disburse-
ment. No bill shall be amended in a manner that changes its
original purpose or incorporates matters extraneous to it. In
amending any article or section of a law, said article or section
shall be promulgated in its entirety as amended. All bills for
raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives,
but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on
other bills.
Section 18. - The subjects which may be dealt with by means
of joint resolution shall be determined by law, but every joint
resolution shall follow the same legislative process as that of
a bill.
Section 19.-Every bill which is approved by a majority of
the total number of members of which each house is composed
shall be submitted to the Governor and shall become law if he
