(UPDATES) SEN. Robinhood Padilla filed a petition before the Supreme Court on Monday asking it to determine whether the Senate and the House of Representatives should vote jointly or separately on amendments to the Constitution.

The question has been a sticking point to previous attempts to amend the Constitution, with senators tending to support separate voting and members of the House joint voting.
