The General Assembly of New California (GA) is the lower house of the Congress of New California, sitting alongside the Senate. Together, they constitute the bicameral legislature of New California. The chamber consists of 280 members and sits in the General Chamber in the Californian Capitol. The GA is charged with the passage of federal legislation; those that are also passed by the Senate are sent to the president for signature or veto. The GA's exclusive powers include initiating all revenue bills, impeaching federal officers, and confirming members of the federal cabinet.
The fixed-term for GA members is for the two-year term of a Congress, subject to reelection every two-years or intra-term vacancy. The GA's composition was established by Article II of the Constitution of New California. The House is composed of representatives who sit in single member congressional districts allocated to each county on the basis of population as measured by the census of New California, with each district having one representative, provided that each county is entitled to at least one representative. As with the Reformed States House of Representatives, all representatives are directly elected. However, unlike the R.S. House, the number of delegates to the house is not capped (although it is required to be odd), and there are no non-voting delegates as New California does not have any territories. As of 2047, the largest delegation was Angeles, with 65 representatives. The smallest district by area is Angeles's 21st congressional district, and the largest is Inyo's at-large congressional district.
The General Assembly meets in the General Chamber in the Californian Capitol. The rules of the GA generally address a multi-party coalition system, much like parliamentary systems of Europe, in which parties will form coalitions, normally based on wing affiliation, in order to gain a majority of 91 delegates. Currently, the "left" coalition is in power by a margin of 39 delegates. The presiding officer is the Speaker of the General Assembly, who is elected by the members thereof. Other floor leaders are chosen depending on whichever party or coalition has more voting members.
