## Council As A Legislative Body

The Council is the chief legislative body of the church. To create legislation Councilors propose the legislation to the proposition table where then another Councilor must second the proposal.

The Pope has the ability to veto actions made by the Council. If this occurs the proposal is sent back to the Council and it most vote on it again. If fourth fifths of Councilors vote in favor the Papal veto can be overridden. The Pope can also submit proposals directly to the Council table. Everyone else who is not the Pope or a Councilor must give proposals to a Councilor to put on the proposition table.

### Council Votes
