| abstract
| - Article V of the Constitution of Sierra prescribes all legislative power to both of the houses in Parliament. All legislation requires being reviewed and agreed upon by both houses although there are several exclusive powers conferred to both houses. For the House, additional powers and regulations pertaining to the Senate are mentioned in Sections III and VII of Article V. The House of Commons shall be composed of Commoners by number apportioned according to population from each Province, chosen by the Electorate thereof, for two years; and each Commoner shall have one vote. — Article V, Section III, Subsection I (1858 Constitution of Sierra) The House of Commons is composed of 250 members, a set number which is distributed among the provinces according to population. The most populous province, the Gold Coast, has 25 commoners although the Constitution requires that each province may have no less than 2 commoners regardless of population size. Two provinces have the legally minimum amount of 2 commoners: Eureka and Washumko, both of which have less than 1,500,000 residents each. Both the House and Senate are required to approve all legislation before such laws can be enacted (provided they are assented by the Monarch). However, the House has the sole power to create and initiate bills for raising revenue or other financially-related topics, and impeach officials. These two exclusive functions are part of the checks and balances imposed in the Sierran federal system. All commoners serve two-year terms and face an election every even-numbered year (legislative year). Like senators, commoners are elected directly by their constituents although the focus of their electoral or representational efforts are confined to their parliamentary district, not their province. Two calendar years (730–731 days) including leap years are considered one legislative year. A year begins and ends on each October 16 by every two years of an even number coinciding with Election Day which in itself may see other major elections including that of the Prime Minister. At the beginning of each legislative year, a parliamentary budget, records, calendar, and regulations for both houses must be made before normal sessions can be conducted. Party leadership positions and responsibilities are determined during this time and new members are initiated into the House as they orient themselves with the environment. At the conclusion of each year, all records are surmised into an official archival report and plans for the next year are forwarded to the Prime Minister and Monarch.
