 | | British Prime Minister Tony Blair in the House of Commons during Prime Minister's Questions. | | | The House of Lords was permitted only to delay most legislation, for a maximum of three parliamentary sessions or two calendar years (reduced to two sessions or one year by the Parliament Act 1949). | | | The provisions of the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975 largely consolidate the clauses of several previous enactments; in particular, several Crown officers had already been disqualified since the passage of the Act of Settlement 1701. |

| | St. George Tucker: Note D, Comparison to British Constitution; House of Commons |
| | This address has generally received a separate answer from each house, which is presented by the whole house, to the president in his audience chamber, that is, at his own house. | | | The bill for apportioning representatives among the states, was negatived by the president, as contrary to constitutional principles. | | | The same course is to be observed, where a bill is not returned by the president, within the time limited by the constitution, and thereby becomes a law: or, having been returned, reconsidered, and approved by two thirds of both houses, becomes law. |

| | The British House of Commons - Stormfront White Nationalist Community |
| | It was fascinating, how good of a politician Tony Blair really is. The representatives pounded him with questions, and he was quick on his toes to answer. | | | While the parliamentarians gossip and chatter, Britain is being degraded into a third world hellhole and its people are being immiserated. | | | I loved it, I sat there, and wished that US politicians would lighten up, and take a page from the "British book of politics" |
