- Congreso de los Diputados: Congress of Deputies
The Congress of Deputies is governed by the Constitution and the Standing Orders that the Chamber adopts with full autonomy.
It meets within the periods of sessions laid down by the Constitution, namely two per natural year, the first from February to June and the second from September to December. Outside these periods there is the Permanent Deputation, which safeguards the powers of the Chamber. However, usually extraordinary sittings of the Plenary, Committees and the rest of the bodies of the Chamber are convened outside the aforementioned ordinary periods of sessions.
Apart from the Plenary, which is made up of all the members of the Congress, the Chamber has several bodies which form two major categories: steering or governance bodies, on the one hand, and working bodies, on the other. The first, which arrange, drive and steer the Chamber are the Presidency, the Bureau and the Board of Party Spokespersons. The working bodies are those directly involved in parliamentary activities, whether it be preparing the debates and decisions of the Plenary, or settling the matters themselves: Committees, Subcommittees, Reporting Subcommittees, Permanent Deputation and the General Secretariat or Parliamentary Administration.
