Government & administration
Assemblée Nationale
National Assembly
500 deputies elected directly for five years. It sits alongside a president who is elected separately and governs — so the assembly does not choose the head of government the way the Bundestag chooses a Chancellor.
What it does
- National legislation
- Petitioning parliament
