Constitution of Fratanica

The National Assembly of Fratanica is the lower house of the National Diet of Fratanica, as established by the Fratanican Constitution. Each member of the National Assembly are known as deputies, elected directly by constituents in 282 single-member electoral districts.

There are currently 357 deputies representing 309 electoral districts. 309 deputies are elected directly by the constituents, whereas the remaining 48 seats are determined via proportional representation, appointed by the political parties themselves. These particular seats are determined through the percentages of seats won by each party in the direct elections. This is used to strike a balance between the power of political parties and the power of the electorate, representing both of their interests.

Deputies are elected every 4 years and a have 3-term limit, however, the President can dissolve the National Assembly and call for a snap election, with advice from the Prime Minister, given that the National Assembly had not been dissolved in the last year. The President can address the National Assembly or a joint conference of the National Diet, but can not participate in debate. The National Assembly approves all executive nominees, including the Cabinet and the Prime Minister. The lower house can vote to remove the Cabinet and Prime Minister in a vote of no confidence, forcing all ministers to resign. They may also issue a vote of no confidence against individual members of the Cabinet.
