SUMMARY:
Bicameralism is a common institutional feature in Latin America, but frequently ignored in legislative studies. Considering this limitation, this research intends to contribute to the literature on presidential legislative activity by incorporating bicameral elements into the analysis of presidential legislative success from seven Latin American countries, using data that cover the legislative production since democratization. The dependent variable was the rate of presidential legislative success, understood as the proportion between approved leg- islative projects and the total number of legislative projects proposed by the executive branch. Concretely, three hypotheses that associate bicameral elements to the rate of presidential legislative success were tested. Those hypotheses include the veto power symmetry between both legislative chambers, the kinds of mechanisms for resolving bicameral conflicts and the size of presidential coalitions in both chambers. Results indicate that asymmetric powers for rejecting bills increase presidential success. Similarly, controlling bicameral majorities also favors the rate of presidential legislative success. On the other hand, the stated expectations about the effects for each mechanism for resolving bicameral conflicts did not succeed.
