The House of Lords is the upper house of the Parliament of Montenbourg.it meets in the Palace Parliment. Bills can be introduced into either the House of Lords or the House of Commons and members of the Lords may also take on roles as Government Ministers. The House of Lords has its own support services, separate from the Commons, including the House of Lords Library.
Unlike the elected House of Commons, most new members of the House of Lords are appointed. Membership of the House of Lords is made up of Lords Spiritual and Lords Temporal. There are currently 26 Lords Spiritual who sit in the Lords by virtue of their ecclesiastical role in the established catholic church. The Lords Temporal make up the rest of the membership; of these, the majority are life peerswho are appointed by the Monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister, or on the advice of the House of Lords Appointments Commission. |
How It Works?
The Chamber of Representatives or the Royal Chamber of lords is where Montenbourg legislative authority is concentrated; for a bill to become law, it must be resolved upon by this chamber. Bills passed by the Chamber of Representatives are sent to The kings approval for corroboration. If the King approves of the bill or simply does nothing for eight weeks, the bill has succeeded. If the King vetoes the bill, the National Council may still force it into law by essentially just passing it again; a Chamber of Representatives resolution overruling a Majesty objection merely has to meet a higher quorum than a regular resolution. In other words, King does not have any real power to prevent adoption of legislation, the Chamber of Representatives being trivially able to override it, but the King is also present at the chamber. There are three exceptions to this rule: bills amending constitutional law, bills curtailing the rights of Montenbourg member states, and bills pertaining to the organization of the legislature itself cannot be forced into law against Majesty opposition.
