What the Constitution says
«2. El Senado en el plazo de dos meses, a partir del día de la recepción del texto, puede, mediante mensaje motivado, oponer su veto o introducir enmiendas al mismo. El veto deberá ser aprobado por mayoría absoluta. El proyecto no podrá ser sometido al Rey para sanción sin que el Congreso ratifique por mayoría absoluta, en caso de veto, el texto inicial, o por mayoría simple, una vez transcurridos dos meses desde la interposición del mismo, o se pronuncie sobre las enmiendas, aceptándolas o no por mayoría simple.»
