procedural loophole

We have always said that there is a procedural loophole in Article J.11.

There is a major procedural loophole, and unfortunately it now also affects discharge, because at the end of the day, Parliament cannot discharge the Council.

The senators, their action delayed by the need to print a new bill to reflect last-minute changes, recessed at 11:35 A.M. but used a procedural loophole to record their votes hours later.
