Art. 276 · Part 31

Amendment Procedure

संशोधन कार्यविधि
Original Text

A Bill to amend the Constitution may be introduced in either House. It must be passed by two-thirds majority of the total existing members in each House separately.

💡 Plain Language Explanation

To amend the Constitution: (1) any MP can introduce an amendment bill, (2) it must pass BOTH houses separately with two-thirds majority — that\'s 184 of 275 in HoR and 40 of 59 in the National Assembly. This is deliberately hard. Nepal\'s Constitution was written through years of conflict and negotiation; changing it shouldn\'t be easy. RSP with 182 seats is tantalizingly close but still needs allies.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

संविधान संशोधन विधेयक — दुवै सदनमा छुट्टाछुट्टै दुई तिहाइ बहुमत (HoR मा १८४, NA मा ४०) चाहिन्छ।

✅ Strengths

High threshold prevents ruling parties from casually rewriting the constitutional order.

⚠️ Concerns

Very high bar also makes it nearly impossible to fix legitimate constitutional flaws.
