The Ibican House of Representatives is the lower house of the Ibican Congress, the Senate being the upper house. Together they compose the national legislature of Ibica.
The composition of the House is established by Article One of the Ibican Constitution. The House is composed of representatives who sit in congressional districts that are allocated to each of the 10 states on a basis of population as measured by the Ibican Census, with each district entitled to one representative. Since its inception in 1701, all representatives have been directly elected. As of the 2015 Census, the largest delegation is that of California, with sixty-four representatives.
The House is charged with the passage of federal legislation, known as bills, which, after concurrence by the Senate, are sent to the president for consideration. In addition to this basic power, the House has certain exclusive powers, among them the power to initiate all bills related to revenue; the impeachment of federal officers, who are sent to trial before the Senate. The House meets in the south wing of the Ibican Capitol.
The presiding officer is the speaker of the House, who is elected by the members thereof (and is therefore traditionally the leader of the controlling party).
