National Assembly (Ecuador) replaces National Congress of Ecuador
The National Assembly (Spanish: Asamblea Nacional) is the unicameral legislature of Ecuador. It replaced the National Congress in 2009 following reforms under the 2008 Constitution. It is currently dissolved after the country's President Guillermo Lasso invoked a muerte cruzada. Within Ecuador, the National Assembly has the power to pass laws, while appointment of judges to the National Court of Justice is done by a separate Judicial Council.
