Parliament retains the right to interrogate cabinet members, including the Prime Minister, on financial and administrative questions and has frequently passed motions of no confidence in government. More recently, with the death last December of the Emir, Sheikh Jabir al-Ahmad, parliamentary approval was exercised a key role in resolving succession debates among factions of the royal family.
议会保有就财政和行政问题向内阁成员包括总理进行质询的权利，并且多次通过了对政府的不信任案。最近，在去年12月埃米尔贾巴尔·埃哈麦德酋长去世以后，议会的批准在解决皇室各派继任争端方面发挥了重要的作用。
