The '''7th Federal Congress of Oportia''' is the current meeting of the legislative branch of the government of the [[Oportia|State of Oportia]], composed of the [[Chamber of Deputies of Oportia]] and the [[Senate of Oportia]]. It convened in [[Vanie]], [[Oportia]] since {{AN|1731}} and will end in {{AN|1734}}, when it will dissolve before the [[Oportian general election, 1734|1734 general election]].
The '''7th Federal Congress of Oportia''' is the current meeting of the legislative branch of the government of the [[Oportia|State of Oportia]], composed of the [[Chamber of Deputies of Oportia]] and the [[Senate of Oportia]]. It convened in [[Vanie]], [[Oportia]] since {{AN|1731}} and will end in {{AN|1734}}, when it will dissolve before the [[Oportian general election, 1734|1734 general election]].


In the [[Oportian general election, 1730|general elections of 1730]], the [[Liberal Progressive Party of Oportia]] (LPP) won a plurality of seats in the [[Chamber of Deputies of Oportia|Chamber of Deputies]] and the [[Liberty Now! Movement]] won a plurality of seats in the [[Senate of Oportia|Senate]]. Negotiations between [[Federal Representative of Oportia|Federal Representative]] [[Galilea Montijo]] of the [[Liberty Now! Movement]], [[Lawrence Marchelier]] of the [[Federal Conservative Union of Oportia]], and several independents resulted in a legislative coalition that gave full control of both chambers to the [[Liberty Now! Movement]] to implement [[Administration of Galilea Montijo|its legislative agenda]]. This ended the trifecta, meaning holding the office of [[Federal Representative of Oportia|Federal Representative]] as well as both chambers of the Federal Congress, that the [[Liberal Progressive Party of Oportia]] (LPP) had since {{AN|1722}}.

Movement]] won a plurality of seats in the [[Senate of Oportia|Senate]]. Negotiations between [[Federal Representative of Oportia|Federal Representative]] [[Galilea Montijo]] of the [[Liberty Now! Movement]], [[Lawrence Marchelier]] of the [[Federal Conservative Union of Oportia]], and several independents resulted in a legislative coalition that gave full control of both chambers to the [[Liberty Now! Movement]] to implement [[Administration of Galilea Montijo|its legislative agenda]]. This marked the end of the [[Liberal Progressive Party of Oportia]] (LPP)'s long-standing trifecta, which had started in {{AN|1722}}, wherein they held the office of [[Federal Representative of Oportia|Federal Representative]] and both legislative chambers.


This congress also features the first female and first lesbian President of the Senate, [[Élise Moreau]] ([[Liberty Now! Movement|LNM]]), and the first East Oportian Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, [[Jean-Luc Moreau]] ([[Liberty Now! Movement|LNM]]). The majority leader of the Chamber of Deputies (leader of the [[Liberty Now! Movement|LNM]] and [[Federal Conservative Union of Oportia|FCU]] coalition in the chamber) is [[Lawrence Marchelier]] ([[Federal Conservative Union of Oportia|FCU]]); and its minority leader is [[Henri Santos]] of the [[Liberal Progressive Party of Oportia]] (LPP).
The current session of Congress is notable not only for its legislative outcomes but also for its historical firsts. [[Élise Moreau]] ([[Liberty Now! Movement|LNM]]) has become the first female and openly lesbian President of the Senate, while [[Jean-Luc Moreau]] ([[Liberty Now! Movement|LNM]]), has taken the role of the first Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies from the newly acquired lands in the east side of the country. The majority leadership of the Chamber of Deputies is held by [[Lawrence Marchelier]] ([[Federal Conservative Union of Oportia|FCU]]), with [[Henri Santos]] ([[Liberal Progressive Party of Oportia|LPP]]) serving as the minority leader.


The 7th Federal Congress has been characterized as a uniquely contentious but productive Congress, with its most notable events pointing towards political dysfunction and partisan strife. The Congress began with a multi-ballot election for Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, the first time this happened in Oportian history. After negotiations between the [[Liberty Now! Movement|LNM]] and [[Federal Conservative Union of Oportia|FCU]], the compromise candidate emerged from the [[Liberty Now! Movement|LNM]] with [[Jean-Luc Moreau]], who managed to win his election and mark the beginning of an uneasy alliance between the parties. In response, [[Lawrence Demarchelier]], the leader of the [[Federal Conservative Union of Oportia|FCU]], was elected majority leader of the Chamber of Deputies. There has been an increase in censures passed in the Chamber of Deputies; setting records with 28 censures, as of {{AN|1733}}. The Congress also saw the first legislative impeachment process in Oportian history when in late {{AN|1733}}, the [[Liberal Progressive Party of Oportia|LPP]] won enough support in the Chamber of Deputies to pass impeachment articles on the [[Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (Oportia)|Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development]] [[Étienne Girard]], which were promptly dismissed by the [[Senate of Oportia|Senate]] upon arrival.

The 7th Federal Congress of Oportia is the current meeting of the legislative branch of the government of the State of Oportia, composed of the Chamber of Deputies of Oportia and the Senate of Oportia. It convened in Vanie, Oportia since 1731 AN and will end in 1734 AN, when it will dissolve before the 1734 general election.

In the general elections of 1730, the Liberal Progressive Party of Oportia (LPP) won a plurality of seats in the Chamber of Deputies and the Liberty Now! Movement won a plurality of seats in the Senate. Negotiations between Federal Representative Galilea Montijo of the Liberty Now! Movement, Lawrence Marchelier of the Federal Conservative Union of Oportia, and several independents resulted in a legislative coalition that gave full control of both chambers to the Liberty Now! Movement to implement its legislative agenda. This marked the end of the Liberal Progressive Party of Oportia (LPP)'s long-standing trifecta, which had started in 1722 AN, wherein they held the office of Federal Representative and both legislative chambers.

The current session of Congress is notable not only for its legislative outcomes but also for its historical firsts. Élise Moreau (LNM) has become the first female and openly lesbian President of the Senate, while Jean-Luc Moreau (LNM), has taken the role of the first Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies from the newly acquired lands in the east side of the country. The majority leadership of the Chamber of Deputies is held by Lawrence Marchelier (FCU), with Henri Santos (LPP) serving as the minority leader.

The 7th Federal Congress has been characterized as a uniquely contentious but productive Congress, with its most notable events pointing towards political dysfunction and partisan strife. The Congress began with a multi-ballot election for Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, the first time this happened in Oportian history. After negotiations between the LNM and FCU, the compromise candidate emerged from the LNM with Jean-Luc Moreau, who managed to win his election and mark the beginning of an uneasy alliance between the parties. In response, Lawrence Demarchelier, the leader of the FCU, was elected majority leader of the Chamber of Deputies. There has been an increase in censures passed in the Chamber of Deputies; setting records with 28 censures, as of 1733 AN. The Congress also saw the first legislative impeachment process in Oportian history when in late 1733 AN, the LPP won enough support in the Chamber of Deputies to pass impeachment articles on the Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development Étienne Girard, which were promptly dismissed by the Senate upon arrival.
