The Federal Chamber (Besmenian: Bundeskammer), is the lower house of the Besmenian Parliament and is based in the Federal Chamber building in the Besmenian capital, Laitstadt. In accordance with the Basic Law, together with the Federal Senate, which represents the federal states, it is called upon to legislate at the federal level. Both chambers are set up as independent bodies. In general, initiatives are initially discussed by the Federal Chamber, with the Federal Senate acting as the confirming or rejecting body in the legislative process. In special cases, the Federal Chamber and the Federal Senate meet together as a Federal Assembly, for example when the president is sworn in.
Before 1967, the Federal Chamber had 210 members. In the course of the Besmenian reunification, membership increased by 427 MPs. After Palingia joined in April 2022, membership increased by 442 MEPs. Palingia's 15 MPs were determined by party percentage in the 2022 Pallingian state election. The parties that reached the 5% threshold in that election also got seats in the Federal Chamber.
The last Federal Chamber election was held on August 8, 2021.
