7th Imperial Parliament

The 7th Imperial Parliament convened on the 1st of January, 255, and will conclude on the 31st of December 258, unless otherwise prorogued or dissolved. The Parliament was the first to follow HB-006-0001, and consists of four annual sessions. 
The Session began with HB-007-0006, Act Criminilizing Vandalism of the Telegraph System, which spiraled out of control into HB-007-0107, Act Nationalizing the Hybretian Railway & Telegraph Co. and Novacian Railway Co., which passed both houses before being vetoed by the Emperor. The veto of the bill angered a number of MPs, who introduced the cleverly named HB-007-0119, An Act Empowering Parliament to Overturn a Veto, which would empower Parliament to overrule a veto should 3/4ths of each house vote in favor of such a measure. After hours of intense debate, the senior member from the Novac First Party leapt up and stabbed Edward Dressel, leader of the Novacian Traditionalist Party to death.
After a recess, HB-007-0132, the Dressel Act, was put on the floor. The bill expanded on the proposed Veto act by providing recourses for the Parliament in removing unfit rulers, Impeachment for Cabinet members of Judges, provisions for a state to challenge an Act of the Confederate Parliament, and the power of Veto. The bill failed in the Lower House after intense uproar over the act.
Other bills during the period were HB-007-0271, An Act to Censure the United Kingdom of Garman & Republic of Novac, for their support of Varreny in the Ninth Varrenian-Selizuyuk War, the bill failed, but not before convincing Garman to withdraw support after the full state of the war was laid bare on the floor.
After the Invasion of Varreny, Emperor Llywellyn began denouncing the Templari'i Republic, and a bill to declare War began debate, until the Emperor was shot. The bill was withdrawn immediately by the Government. Prime Minister Ceredig Mostyn was named Acting Sovereign until a Regent could be chosen for 10 year old Princess Charlotte.
The Campaign for Regent was between three candidates, the RUP and Riogaithe backed Mila, Duchess of Cadwaller, and Empress Dowager, who had been Regent during the Great War for her husband Arthwr III, the Liberal backed Andreas, Duke of Cadwaller, her current husband, and close ally to the late Emperor, and Rheinhallt Cadigan, brother of the late Emperor.
In the First Round of Voting conducted on December 5th, The Duke of Ogledd received 224 votes, The Duke of Cadwaller, 212, and the Duchess of Cadwaller 241. In the Second Round, the Duchess was elected against the Duke of Ogledd, 395-280.
HB-007-290 was proposed to condemn the actions of Juan Esteban San Martín in attempting to arrest Presidente Juderias and overthrowing the Republic. The act passed both houses, but was vetoed by the Empress Regent.
