The National Assembly (Javol: Assemblia nazional; Iverdonian: Assamblea naziunala) is the bicameral legislature of the Veton Republic. The National Assembly is formed by two chambers, the upper house, the Senate (Senat) and the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies (Cambre de Deputas, Chombra dals Deputads).
The National Assembly was established immediately after the 1916 declaration of independence of Vetonia as the Revolutionary Constituent Assembly and was enshrined into the country's constitution. The Assembly's constitutional position has remained largely intact despite the post-1958 federalisation of the country. Its 400 members (450 before 1971) are vested with legislative power that is shared with both the President and the government. The executive and the legislative functions are more clearly differentiated than in other parliamentary systems, as ministers cannot be members of the legislature, and deputies chosen to serve as ministers must resign their seats.
The National Assembly operates as an imperfect bicameral legislature, as although both chambers are nearly-equal in all legislative aspects, the executive is solely responsible before the Chamber of Deputies. De facto, most legislation is introduced in the Chamber, even though only the budget must be first introduced in the lower house.
Elections to the Chamber of Deputies take place every six years unless the chamber is dissolved early according to a system of proportional representation from twenty-seven constituencies. The Senate is directly-elected every eight years from four constituencies - one for each state - with 25 senators each regardless of the population.
