The Legislative Process
A bill must be proposed by a member of the national assembly, the author(s) of the bill are the sponsors. A bill must have at least one sponsor and 10 signatories in order to be presented on the floor. Once a bill is presented on the floor, legislators negotiate and debate the bill on the Assembly floor, oftentimes, the sponsors use this given time to rally support for the bill among the legislators of the Assembly. Once the Assembly is ready to move into voting procedure, a vote is taken in order to make sure a majority of the assembly is ready to vote, and the the bill is voted on.

Once a bill passes the unicameral legislature, it goes to the Casa del Soberano where the President either signs it into law or vetoes it. A veto can be overridden by a two-thirds supermajority (134 Assemblypersons) in the Assembly, in which case, the bill becomes law without presidential approval.

Opening Session of the National Assembly
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen! Today, we swear again that yearly promise to the Cargotan people. With proud hearts and great pride, we begin again the work that we were elected to do. But in the greatest of times, we also face the worst of troubles. As a nation are only great when ALL people prosper. As a mob ravages our capital. Police forces and the people clash in the streets of this truly blessed city. When delegates of this assembly, especially those in the very leadership of this assembly call upon private forces to assist in the disruption of its people protests. It makes this chair sick to think of such action. Delegates in this assembly, notables in the opposition, are using twitter to stir up more chaos in this city. Across our nation, we need to bring about the desired unity and the promises of peace. Let this assembly be the light to which all citizens look. Not the place in which such taint flows out and infects our nation. I ask this assembly to remember the great values of our constitution and that in which our President upholds. For it for our people's great benefit that we work. Let us work to build this nation. Not destroy it because we disagree over simple things. Thank you." Premier of the National Assembly stepped down from the podium beneath his own seat. He did not speak from his chair often. To make the point stick when he did. But this government, the National Assembly, must learn to do its duty over the ambitions of its members. For the people. By the people.

Eduardo Topo
In the small space of time he had between his presidential rallies, Eduardo Topo decided to submit a law intended to strengthen his support amongst the right-wing patriotic base. The law was unlikely to pass, but Topo believed that it would assist in helping his campaign.

Floor of the National Assembly
The Premier read it with disgust and shook his head. "Sir, your motion is noted and documented. But you have failed to note the promoters of this bill and has been in effect, refused for improper procedure upon the floor of the National Assembly. Your bill is hereby, REJECTED, upon this note into the record. Once the bill is revised and promoted properly, we shall vote upon its merit and then be sent to the right committee."
