"O congresso tem que aprovar a legislação competente .. "

Encontrei 'applicable law' e legislative competence mas continuei em dúvida.

ok and closed but I still think that "appropriate" is closer to the original
Wallane Andrade (asker) Mar 24, 2021:
agradeço a colaboração
Mark Robertson Mar 23, 2021:
@Wallane Embora ambas as respostas propostas parecem aptas, o contexto oferecido é parco. Para já, não vislumbro as circunstâncias em que o plenário do congresso é obrigado a aprovar seja o que for.
Raul Soares Junior Mar 23, 2021:
se competente no sentido de referir-se à matéria, "in question", "corresponding", "applicable" e até mesmo "said" (dependendo da construção do período) são opções válidas

agree Ana Rita Santiago : A meu ver, "applicable" seria apenas para legislação que já existe e se aplica ao caso concreto. No contexto, como o congresso ainda não aprovou, na minha opinião "appropriate" fica melhor.
