They obviously do not have Article 15.1.1° of our Constitution, which states:


All questions in each House shall, save as otherwise provided by this Constitution, be determined by a majority of the votes of the members present and voting other than the Chairman or presiding member.
The Deputy's amendment is unconstitutional.
