Parliament of Lower Columbia

The Parliament of Lower Columbia is the federal legislative branch of the Federal Kingdom of Lower Columbia, which meets in Parliament House in the national capital, Kendall. It is the supreme legislative body in Lower Columbia, nominally headed by the King, Zachary, but presided over on a day-to-day basis by the Lords of Parliament. It is bicameral: its upper house is the Council of States, and its lower house is the Federal Assembly.

By convention, the Assembly is the dominant house of Parliament; the King and the Council rarely oppose its will. The Council therefore normally takes the role of reviewing bills proposed by the Assembly, while the monarch provides the necessary royal assent to make bills law, as well as summon and dissolve Parliament, and make the Royal Address every year. The current Parliament is the 75th since the federal constitution was ratified in 1715, having been summoned by King Zachary on November 7, 2011.
