With the intention of answering how parliamentarians acted in proposing and approving amendments to the text proposed by the Executive, we first seek to make a historic rescue regarding the institutional design of the coalition presidential government in operation in Brazil, giving space to the debate that positive theories bring to the address parliamentary performance. Then, we talk about the role of the commission system and the use of provisional measures in the Brazilian decision-making process, pointing out its relevance in the legislative scenario. Finally, when we understand the mixed commissions as specific spaces for project deliberation; we started to study the amendment work that took place inside the Joint Commission of Provisional Measure nº 746/2016; where it was possible to observe that the opposition proposed a significant amount of amendments in an MPV of paramount importance for the Executive's agenda, that is, members outside the coalition seek (and manage) to change the Executive's proposal. The Legislature acts on the Executive's proposal by changing its points and placing its preferences, even in the face of an instrument for the exclusive use of the Executive. In addition to concluding that the mixed commissions have an important role in the decision-making process.
