The House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the Confederate States Congress, with the Senate being the upper chamber. Together, they compose the national bicameral legislature of Floria. The House is charged with the passage of federal legislation, known as bills; those that the Senate also passes are sent to the president for signature or veto. The House's exclusive powers include initiating all revenue bills, impeaching federal officers, and electing the president if no candidate receives a majority of votes in the Electoral College.
Members of the House serve a fixed term of 12 years, with each seat up for election before the start of the next Congress. Special byelections also occur when a seat is vacated early. The House is composed of representatives who sit in single-member congressional districts allocated to each state based on population as measured by the Florian census, with each district having at least a single representative, provided that that state is entitled to them. Since its inception in 1693 until 1750, all representatives were directly elected. From 1750 a mixed-member proportional electoral system was introduced.
As of the most recent census, the largest delegation was Kingsland, with 21 representatives. The Temple Islands have only one representative.
The House meets in the centre of the Capitol. The rules of the House generally address a two-party system, with a majority party in government, and a minority party in opposition. The presiding officer is the speaker of the House, who is elected by the members thereof. Other floor leaders are chosen by the Social Democratic Caucus or the United Republican Conference, depending on whichever party has the most voting members. The House expanded from 100 to 244 in the 1750 elections.
