-===== La Recognista =====
+====== Approval and Implementation of Laws ======
+The procedure for enacting a law is as follows: \\ MPs and Lords craft a law, the House of Commons votes on it, if it passes it goes on to the House of Lords, if it fails the Prime Minister may call a revote, when the House of Lords recieves the bill they vote on it, if it is approved it becomes a law.  Alternatively the House of Lords may over ride the House of Commons on matters deemed to be of great importance to the nation, if it does so it may craft and pass it's own legislation without the approval of the House of Commons; however, if possible the Prime Minister should help craft the legislation.
