The Congress was the bicameral legislative branch of government of the Republic of Haven, before and after both the Legislaturalist regime and the Committee of Public Safety.
Organisation and Powers[]
Under the original Constitution of the Republic and before the advent of the DuQuesne Plan, the Havenite Congress was composed of two houses:
- the Senate
- the House of Legislators
When the Constitution was restored by President Eloise Pritchart and Admiral Thomas Theisman, Congress was reestablished as the legislative branch of the Republic of Haven, and was again composed of two houses; however, while the Senate was restored as the upper house of Congress, the lower house was renamed from the House of Legislators to the "House of Representatives".
Members of either house of Congress were required to resign from their seats before accepting any Cabinet-level appointment. (HH10)
