(b)) of the Constitution requires the genuine meaning and of constitutional norms, which can be done through textual interpretation or functioning, insofar as they can be inferred from the text of the Constitution, taking into account the generic nature of the norm.

When this support, and so the trust that a supposed, no longer exists, vote of no confidence creates the possibility that, through the formation of a new balance between the Executive, the legislative and the Executive power to be restored. Thus, the motion of censure is the legal instrument through which Parliament may withdraw confidence granted to the Executive branch. "
