== Powers ==
The National Assembly is a unicameral body, meaning there is only one operating chamber. This was a deliberate decision by President [[Gaius Selan]] following independence, in an attempt to restore political stability - over potential divisions that two houses may bring. The return to the Assembly, over the [[Wiltshire Parliament]] (which was established to govern the Third Wiltshire Republic), was made following independence to allow for the creation of a Semi-Presidential Republic. This new system allows for greater stability, while also allowing for greater democracy. Β 


The Assembly is composed of 120 elected Assembly Members (AMs) who represent one of the districts. They are elected at a general election every three months by first-past-the-post and hold their seats until the Assembly is dissolved.
The Assembly meets in Assembly Hall, at the center of the Enterprise Complex in Juneville. The sittings of the Assembly are to be as follows;


The last General Election was held on [[June 3019 Wiltshire Legislative Elections|June 13, 3019]] resulting in the formation of the [[Grey Ministry (Wiltshire)]].
Emergency sessions can be called by the [[President of Wiltshire]] during times of recess. Β 


== Procedure ==
The Assembly is chaired by the [[Speaker of the Wiltshire National Assembly|Speaker of the National Assembly]].


=== '''Elections and nominations''' ===
=== '''Powers and responsibilities''' ===
Following a general election, the elected members of the Assembly are convened on the Friday following the election (in accordance with the [[Elections Act of 3015]]). The first sitting of the new Assembly has two crucial jobs;
The Government of Wiltshire operates out of the National Assembly and so must command the confidence of the Assembly. Despite being appointed by the President, the [[Prime Minister of Wiltshire]] must pass a confidence vote in the Assembly before being able to take office. This is the Assembly's first responsibility.
* Appoint a President of the Assembly
* Nominate the [[Provincial Director of Wiltshire|Director]].
The first of these - Appoint the President of the Assembly - is always the first job of a new Assembly. The President is either elected at the start of a new Assembly, when a vacancy opens or in the event of a successful motion of no confidence in the President received 2/3. This is held by a simple vote of nominated candidates and is not a political vote. The incumbent President, Joshua Foreman, was first elected in January 3019.


The second, and more important of these, - Nominate the Director - is usually the second motion of a new Assembly. This is done by the presentation of a motion under General Order 8 - presented by the Leader of the Assembly. This motion is a vote between the nominated candidates and the winner will be nominated, then appointed by the President of the [[Novanite Federation]]. Following this, the new Director delivers a speech to the Assembly, outlining the government's legislative priorities going forward.
The second, and most obvious, responsibility is that of legislative control. All laws must be passed by the National Assembly. The President does hold a veto, but any law must receive the approval of the Assembly before the President's signature. In addition, the Assembly must craft the national budget, with the President's signature, and retains the power to declare war. Β 


Traditionally, the Director (or Prime Minister) would be the leader of the party with a majority in the Assembly. However, this isn't strictly true. The Director is whomever can command confidence (command a majority of AMs) in the Assembly. In June 3019, no party leader could command the confidence of the Assembly and so Fillmore Grey (the only Independent AM) was nominated and then appointed Director.
Members of the Assembly are also empowered to scrutinize the government; Members can call government ministers to testify and ministers have a legal obligation to respond, in some way, to the questions posed by members. The Prime Minister, being a member of the Assembly, must attend to these questions in person, while ministers may respond in person or either via other communication. Β 


=== '''History''' ===
Another power the Assembly holds is impeachment. The Assembly has the authority to impeach and remove the President of the Republic. To have this occur, 66.6% of the Assembly must vote on an impeachment resolution, following a trail being conducted by the courts, chaired by the most senior independent judge in the country.

=== '''State Opening''' ===
The President of Wiltshire is responsible for the State Opening of the Assembly, at which point he gives a speech to the members. In that speech he lays out the Government's legislative priorities for the coming term and his own ambitions for the Assembly. The State Opening takes place at the start of every Assembly term.

The Commonwealth National Assembly is the unicameral parliamentary body responsible for the government and legislature of the Wiltshirian Commonwealth. It was established by the Act of Settlement in 3025, and was elected shortly thereafter.

Current composition

The National Assembly is made up of 53 members, representing four political parties.

Powers

The National Assembly is a unicameral body, meaning there is only one operating chamber. This was a deliberate decision by President Gaius Selan following independence, in an attempt to restore political stability - over potential divisions that two houses may bring. The return to the Assembly, over the Wiltshire Parliament (which was established to govern the Third Wiltshire Republic), was made following independence to allow for the creation of a Semi-Presidential Republic. This new system allows for greater stability, while also allowing for greater democracy.

The Assembly meets in Assembly Hall, at the center of the Enterprise Complex in Juneville. The sittings of the Assembly are to be as follows;

Emergency sessions can be called by the President of Wiltshire during times of recess.

The Assembly is chaired by the Speaker of the National Assembly.

Powers and responsibilities

The Government of Wiltshire operates out of the National Assembly and so must command the confidence of the Assembly. Despite being appointed by the President, the Prime Minister of Wiltshire must pass a confidence vote in the Assembly before being able to take office. This is the Assembly's first responsibility.

The second, and most obvious, responsibility is that of legislative control. All laws must be passed by the National Assembly. The President does hold a veto, but any law must receive the approval of the Assembly before the President's signature. In addition, the Assembly must craft the national budget, with the President's signature, and retains the power to declare war.

Members of the Assembly are also empowered to scrutinize the government; Members can call government ministers to testify and ministers have a legal obligation to respond, in some way, to the questions posed by members. The Prime Minister, being a member of the Assembly, must attend to these questions in person, while ministers may respond in person or either via other communication.

Another power the Assembly holds is impeachment. The Assembly has the authority to impeach and remove the President of the Republic. To have this occur, 66.6% of the Assembly must vote on an impeachment resolution, following a trail being conducted by the courts, chaired by the most senior independent judge in the country.

State Opening

The President of Wiltshire is responsible for the State Opening of the Assembly, at which point he gives a speech to the members. In that speech he lays out the Government's legislative priorities for the coming term and his own ambitions for the Assembly. The State Opening takes place at the start of every Assembly term.

Government and history

The current Government is a CD/R Union minority government, led by Jan Rau.
