The National Assembly is composed of three houses: the Peoples' Council, the Party Council, and the State Council. Each is progressively smaller than the last and has different powers; the lower houses have the authority to propose bills and possess various veto and legal powers, while the State Council passes bills into law. The SC also performs informal functions vital to the running of the state. | The National Assembly is composed of three houses: the Peoples' Council, the Party Council, and the State Council.

This structure means that elections and terms as normally imagined do not apply to the State Council, but instead are conferred naturally with its constituent positions, and the Council's makeup changes as the Speakers and Ministers do. The State Council is headed by the Taesteach. | ||

The SC approves bills passed by the lower houses of the Assembly; as it has ten members, the Audit Council member has the tiebreaking vote. Passing a law through the SC is a simple majority vote. Just as important is the SC's informal role as a forum for communication between the Director of the Republic and the major figures of the Assembly and the Administration, since it effectively forms a 'small council'. As a result, meetings are frequently attended by other ministers, and are used as a forum for establishing clear goals and programs between all four branches of government. The SC may propose an impeachment of a sitting Director by an 8/10 vote, after which a simple majority vote in the joint Party and Peoples' Councils will confirm or reject the impeachment. | The SC approves bills passed by the lower houses of the Assembly; as it has ten members, the Audit Council member has the tiebreaking vote.
