    "content": "Secondly, the clause made usage of the term ‘Parliament’ as construed before bicameralism hence necessitating correction of the error to specifically refer to the National Assembly as the House responsible for approving the said appointments. Earlier, on 9th March 2016, the House rescinded the decision on rejection of appointment of Members to the Budget and Appropriations Committee after being moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. The purpose of the rescission was to allow a fresh appointment of the committee within six months following rejection of the Motion thereby extricating the House from a procedural limbo that would have left the budget making and budget-related oversight functions of the House unattended for six months. In the third incidence, on 21st October 2015, the House rescinded the decision on agreement with the Committee of the whole House on the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Bill, 2014 to allow re-committal of clauses 34 and 37 of the Bill. The purpose of the rescission was to disentangle the House from having inadvertently made erroneous decisions and allow it to revisit the matter. Much earlier, on 31st March 2004, the House rescinded rejection of appointment of Members to the House Business Committee. The object of the rescission was to allow re- establishment of the committee without which the House would have been in limbo and without business for six months."
