House of the Bundesrat

The House of the Bundesrat is the upper house of the Legislative Branch of the Imperial Kygonese Government. The majority of it is controlled by the Kygon Conservative Party. 
== Role ==
The role of the Bundesrat is responsible for the formal creation and passing of a bill or law. They will decide whether or not the bill will be sent to the Emperor after being handed to by the House of the Reichstag. Other responsibilities of the Bundesrat is the confirmation of governors, judges, different types of government officials, ambassadors, and is allowed to modify the bill if needed. 
== Legislation Process ==
The Legislation Process in the Bundesrat is similar to the Reichstag, as it requires a primary committee after the bill is sent from the Reichstag. However, the primary committee can deny the bill or law and send it back to the Reichstag for revisions. If the bill or law is approved by the primary committee it is directly sent to the Bundesrat to be debated and voted on. It will take 51 majority vote to officially pass the bill or law, however, if the Bundesrat ends in a tie the Emperor will have the final say in it. After the bill is formally passed, it will be directly sent to the Emperor for approval. If the bill does not pass in the primary Bundesrat vote, it will automatically be sent back to the Reichstag or die. The Emperor is allowed to veto a bill or law if they see it as unfit, but can be override with 2/3 vote by both the Reichstag and Bundesrat.
