The Concilio Populi (Anglish: Council of the People; Salvian: Consihera Vulgatu) is the lower chamber of the federal legislative branch of the Sanctum Imperium Catholicum. Along with the Concilio Clerici, it makes up the Salvian Convention of Houses. It is the representative body of Salvian citizens. Pursuant of Article 1 of the 1709 Salvian Constitution, the Concilio Populi has 1 representative for every 100,000 plus 10; as of 2020, there are 240 representatives, of which 230 are elected by constituents and the other 10 are elected by the Concilio Clerici. Representatives are styled as "representative" and meet at Alexis Hall.
The Concilio Populi is charged with the passage of federal legislation, which, after concurrence by the Concilio Clerici, are sent to the president for consideration. In addition, the Concilio Populihas certain exclusive powers, among them the power to eliminate bills that were proposed and passed in the Concilio Clerici, the impeachment of federal officers, and the responsibility of introducing legislation related to revenue, as the 1709 Constitution forbids the Concilio Clerici from doing this.
