Congress

Each state is allocated one senator, which is filled by the governor or whomever the governor chooses to appoint. Each citizen of the United Republic is afforded a vote in the chamber of the people. Currently, as there is no citizenship infrastructure, only the Chamber of the States is functional.
Congress votes to discuss, debate, and vote on measures proposed by the members or the government, or to discuss matters of state or importance. It also serves as an important forum where both citizens and states can be represented and included in decision making.
President of the Chamber of the States
The President of the Chamber of the States is the presiding officer over the Chamber of the States and fills a role similar to the President Pro-Tempore of the United States Senate. They are elected at the start of each legislative session.
