The Billopeshian People's Assembly is the lower house of the bicameral National Parliament of Billopesha, commonly referred to as "the Assembly". Alongside the Billopeshian Senate, it makes up the legislative body of the Billopeshian government and currently contains 800 members, outnumbering the 400 member Senate. The Assembly has less power than the Senate but has the considerable influence and the power to reject and review bills once they are passed by the Government Senate. It is the one reprensentative body with two members being elected by each constituency which especially means the agenda of the Assembly is controlled by the people rather than the government as in the Senate.
The People's Assembly runs under the Berroll System that has been active since October 5th 2007 making it a unique lower house. It is divided into two "blocks", one of which is the partisan block, which makes up the large majority of the Assembly containing a number of political parties and the other being independent representatives of each province. The large amount of representatives and parties makes the Assembly more sensitive to public opinion and the house also has the exclusive right to impeach a government officials.
The leader of the People's Assembly is the Second President who is leader of the majority party, acts as the presiding officer of the Assembly and is a member of the Cabinet. Representatives serve for two-year terms and are replaced in a general election but the term can be shortened by death, resignation or dissmissal in which case a bi-election is held. Representives of the Assembly can also be appointed up to the Senate which happens to independent members are awarded a seat anywhere in the Seante or to party members when they are appointed to the Partisan Block of the Seante. Representatives are formally addressed as "The Honourable...". Representatives can be removed by an impeachment made by the Chancellor.
