Branches
The Federal Assembly is a bicameral legislature and has two houses, the Arstotzkan Federal Congress and House of Representatives of the Arstotzkan Union. Each house has their own duty to creating and passing laws. Like the rest of the Arstotzkan Federal Government, the Federal Assembly (under Article 12, Section 3 of the Government Procedures Act 2023) only operates for 359 days of the year. From 5 January to 30 December each year.
Arstotzkan Federal Congress
The Arstotzkan Federal Congress is the upper house of the legislative body of the Arstotzkan Federal Government. The task of the Arstotzkan Federal Congress is to read, amend (if necessary), repeal and approve bills from the House of Representatives. It has been operating since 3 December 2020, beginning as the upper house of the Arstotzkan Federal Government until it was joined by the House of Representatives on 7 April 2021.
Since its inception, the Arstotzkan Federal Congress has been a very much unchanged branch of the Federal Assembly. It has continued to operate as a functional 9 seat assembly and has worked hard in its efforts to aid the current presidential administration in passing laws that have benefited the continuation of the Arstotzkan Union.
House of Representatives
The House of Representatives has always been the lowest branch in the Arstotzkan Federal Government. Unlike the Arstotzkan Federal Congress it was founded at the end of the Federalisation of the Arstotzkan Union on 7 April 2021.
When it was created the House of Representatives had eleven seats, this was until 2022. Following the end of the Arstotzkan Union Proper and the beginning of the reforms of the territories, the House of Representatives went down to four seats, one for each representative of the four states.
The duty of the House is to create legislation brought forward by any citizen over the age of sixteen. This is a relatively new law and was only created with the passing of the Government Procedures Act 2023. The law is one of the only entrenched articles in Arstotzkan Law and requires a 67% supermajority to remove and no Executive Order or Executive Presidential Order can remove it.
The House can only perform a single reading of a law before it gets passed onto the Arstotzkan Federal Congress for it to be properly amended and edited before approval from the Executive Committee.
