The National Assembly functions as the "lower house", being responsible for the adoption of all laws as well as any amendments to the Constitution of Caphiria, and setting the Caphirian national budget. The National Assembly is also nominally responsible for the oversight of the [[Ministries of Caphiria]], with each ministry having a corresponding committee. The presiding officer is the First Consul - the designee of the Imperator, and is considered to be the most senior officer of the Corcillum. A second officer, the ''Proconsul Maioris'' (Majority Speaker of the Assembly), is elected by the members of the National Assembly and serves as the floor leader of the assembly. The ''Proconsul Maioris'' is also assigned a number of specific responsibilities and duties which make it one of the most sought-after positions. | The National Assembly functions as the "lower house", being responsible for the adoption of all laws as well as any amendments to the Constitution of Caphiria, and setting the Caphirian national budget.

== | The National Assembly was created with the current Constitution of Caphiria as a replacement for the earlier ''plebeian assembly'', which formed in the earliest days of [[Caphiria]] as the representative bodies of each of the original tribes which settled Caphiria. As each tribe had one vote, the body was initially created as a popular body but fell into obsolescence as tribal leaders were subverted first by the Senate and then by the first [[Imperator|Imperators]]. With the establishment of the Great Landsmeet in [[Urcea]] during the medieval period, the resurrection of the plebeian assembly was a popular idea which receded following the '''XXXX CIVIL WAR XXXX'''. The plebeian assembly last fully met in 1640, and was replaced by the directly representative National Assembly in the 19th century. | ||
