The Sergeant-at-Arms ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''Praeteuer contrelaige'', (PC)) of the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Legislative_Branch|Citizens Court of the National Assembly (Burg. ''La Assemblee de Ciutadans de l'Assemblee Nacional'', (ACAN))]] is tasked with the maintenance of decorum of the "august and patrician body". The literal translation of ''Praeteuer contrelaige'' is "defender of order against the behavior of the lay-people". The PC is given broad authority to censor and/or punish [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] legislators whose behavior is deemed "unbecoming". Punishments are to be conducted by the PC in the public square outside of the parliament building, are to be publicly announced/posted a week in advance of their execution, and are to nationally televised. The PC carries a {{wpl|tipstaff}} which they use to exact said punishments and is the symbol of their office. | |||
This puritanical approach is born from the early days of the ACAN after the unification of [[Burgundie]]. Legislative sessions were raucous affairs and little was achieved. In response to the [[Red Interregnum]] ([[1897]]-[[1902]]), a number of reforms regarding government efficiency and anti-corruption were enacted to mitigate similar events occurring in [[Burgundie]]. In [[1901]], ACAN was designated as an "august and patrician body" and the PC was assigned to enforce decorum. Since [[1905]] no events of legislative violence have occurred. | |||

*1989 handgun incident - During a vote at the People's Assembly deciding on the new head for the body's finance oversight committee, an assemblyman named Lee Jong Jong from the ruling NRF pulled out a handgun and threatened to verbatim: 'kill any son of a bitch from the opposition who voted against the NRF candidate'. When it became clear that Jong Jong's gun had no actual bullets in it, he was mobbed by PCD legislators and severely beaten before security intervened. Lee Jong Jong would be abducted in 1995 by masked men and never seen again. | *'''1989 handgun incident''' - During a vote at the People's Assembly deciding on the new head for the body's finance oversight committee, an assemblyman named Lee Jong Jong from the ruling NRF pulled out a handgun and threatened to verbatim: 'kill any son of a bitch from the opposition who voted against the NRF candidate'.
