In Chawosaurian politics, the **Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace** (also known as the **Legislative Chamber of the Chawopolis Palace**, the **imperial legislature**, the **Imperial Assembly**, or simply the **Chawopolis Palace**) is the legislative branch of the Chawosaurian Imperial Government. It is divided between the Imperial Parliament of the Empire of Chawosauria which is internally divided by three houses: the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the House of Representatives; and the Imperial Senate of the Empire of Chawosauria which has no internal chambers. The Imperial Parliament has three chambers and one full chamber for a meeting of all members of parliament, and the Imperial Senate only has one chamber; and in the whole the Imperial Assembly, and like the Imperial Parliament, all members of parliaments and Senators all meet together in the Imperial Chamber of the Chawopolis Palace. The current majority party is the Chawosaurian Communist Party since January 1, 2020.

In the Imperial Senate, the partisan majority sits on the right side of the Senate chamber and to the left side are the Independent Checkers and between them on the top center of the Senate chamber is the administration and the Imperial Parliament of the Empire of Chawosauria takes up the whole bottom roll of the entire Senate chamber. When the Imperial Senate votes on a bill previously approved by the Imperial Parliament, all members of parliament must attend the vote to represent the bill and the administration is there to either veto or give royal assent to the bill if passed the Imperial Senate, while the Independent Checkers are there to check the Senate majority to prevent them from taking all of power in the whole entire institution. This is known as the Chawosaurian Senatorial Model.

The system of the Imperial Parliament of the Empire of Chawosauria works similar to the British Parliament, known as the Westminster System. Unlike the British Parliament which has two houses, the Chawosaurian Imperial Parliament has three houses. 900 seats total in Parliament with 401 seats needed for a partisan majority, 500 seats for a partisan supermajority and to dodge a filibuster, and a coalition government approved by the Supreme Leader needed if no party has an outright majority.

Terminology of this institution: the term "government" is only for a political party who runs the administration and has majorities in all chambers of the Chawopolis Palace (commonly described as a government trifecta or simply trifecta) while the term "opposition" is for a party or parties that stands against the trifecta party. In a situation in which one party only runs the administration but no majority in all chambers or if chambers are divided by party control, that party will hold either the titles "majority party" or "minority party" depending how many seats that party has overall in the Chawopolis Palace in general. The term "majority party" can still be borrowed by the party that holds the monarchy (another word for the administration) which happened several times under Emperor Santiago from 1925 to 1939 and the whole reign of Timothy Max Roosevelt (1976-2011).

Before the 2019 Chawosaurian legislative elections, there was no fixed term for the Imperial Assembly but traditionally, there are two term lengths that take turns, four years in one term and six years in the following term and it would repeat. But now that term has been fixed by the 2019 Electoral Reform Package and likely a new constitution to be strictly five years.

## History of the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace

The Chawopolis Palace was build as the palace and cemetery of the Chawosaurian Imperial Family but since the Chawo-Wolfsberg War, it is still the residence and cemetery of the Chawosaurian Imperial Family but also the capitol of the Chawosaurian Imperial Government, which has always been that way but an actual capitol.
