ALBAY Rep. Edcel Lagman on Sunday said he would bring to the Supreme Court the question of whether or not the House of Representatives and the Senate could vote separately should Congress be convened as a constituent assembly (Con-ass) to amend the  Constitution.

Lagman said the Senate’s insistence on separate voting was yet another reason to junk the idea of a Con-ass in favor of a regular constitutional convention (Con-con).

The Constitution does not make a distinction between senators and representatives when they are convened as a constituent assembly, he said.
