the House of Republics is not directly elected, but instead chosen by the State Legislature, It respects the structure of the U.S. Senate prior to the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913.

Powers

the House of Republics is viewed as a more formal chamber of the Supreme Council. Because of its federalist design, as well as its voting franchise strictly limited to provincial elites, the Council is viewed as less volatile to radical changes. Plus like in the Konraqi Senate it has been forbidden to swear or using profanity in the House of Republics, Doing so results in explusion, This tradition goes back to the Khanate era

The House of Republics is charged in cooperating with the Supreme Council in completing and voting on draft laws. Federal laws concerning budgets, customs regulations, credit monitoring, and the ratification of international treaties are to be considered by the House of Republics after they have been adopted from the Supreme Council, where most legislation is introduced.

Special powers that accorded only to the House of Republics are:

  • Approval of changes in borders between the subjects of the State Union;
  • Approval of a decree of the President of the State Union on the introduction of martial law;
  • Approval of a decree of the President of the State Union on the introduction of a state of emergency;
  • Deciding on the possibility of using the Armed Forces of the Union outside the territory of the State Union;
  • Declaring of elections of the President of the State Union;
  • Impeachment of the President of the State Union;
  • Approving the president's nomination of judges of the Constitutional Court of the State Union, of the Supreme Court of the State Union, of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Federal government
  • Approving the president's nomination of the Prosecutor General of the State Union;
  • Appointment of Deputy Chairman and half of the auditors of the Accounting Chamber.

For laws to pass the Federation Council, a vote of more than half of its 12 senators is required. When considering federal constitutional laws, three-fourths of the Council's votes are required for passage. If the Council vetoes a law passed by the Supreme Council, the two chambers are mandated to form a Conciliation Committee in order to form a compromise document, which would again go under vote by both houses.
