Parliament
The Parliament of Valkea (Valkean: Valkean eduskunta) is the supreme legislative body in the country. It is comprised of 250 members who are elected every two years. The Parliament has the power to amend the Constitution, force the resignation of the Government, and override presidential vetoes. Legislation is initiated by the cabinet or any member of Parliament, which can then choose whether to pass or dismiss the bill. Once the Parliament has passed the bill, it is then sent to the President for final approval. Should the President veto a bill, the Parliament may choose to override it through a two-thirds vote.
