A quick definition of recede:
Term: RECEDE
Definition: When two groups of people are trying to make a new law, sometimes one group will suggest changes to the law that the other group doesn't like. If the second group decides to "recede," it means they are giving up on their changes and agreeing to the original law without any changes. This is like saying, "Okay, we won't argue anymore. Let's just agree on the original idea."
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: To withdraw from an amendment in which the other house has not agreed.
Example: In a bicameral legislature, if one house proposes an amendment to a bill and the other house does not agree, the first house may choose to recede from the amendment. This means they withdraw the amendment and the bill moves forward without it.
This term is often used in the context of legislative procedures and can be confusing for those unfamiliar with the process. Essentially, it means that one house of a legislature is giving up on a proposed change to a bill because the other house is not willing to accept it.
