Jordan's National Assembly consists of a Senate as its upper house and a House of Deputies as its lower house. The 40 members of the Senate are given four-year terms by the King. Senators must be over 40 years of age and must have worked in important positions in government. The 80 members of the House of Deputies are elected every four years. If a bill is passed by more than two thirds of the Senate and House of Deputies, it becomes an Act of Parliament, or, in other words, a new law.
