Since 1987 the Congress operates in the port city of Valparaíso, about 110 kilometers (~ 70 mi.
) northwest of the capital, Santiago.
However some commissions are allowed to meet in other places, especially Santiago.
Congressional members have tried repeatedly to relocate the Congress back to Santiago, where it operated until the Chilean Coup of 1973, but have not been successful.
The last attempt was in 2000, when the project was rejected by the Constitutional Court, because it allocated funds from the national budget, which, under the Chilean Constitution, is a privilege of the President.
