Chapter 433 A harmonious meeting
Chapter 433 A harmonious meeting (final part )
What do we think this place is?
After hearing Lyon's question, the congressman who was shocked by the "assassination" of the finance minister came to his senses and couldn't help but feel angry for a moment.
What do you mean by "what do we think this place is?" You were the one who started it. How dare you say that?
Wow, you are so uncooperative.
Seeing the congressman cursing again in the audience, Lyon's cheeks twitched involuntarily, and then he wiped his cufflinks and pushed back the small piece of goat horn that was exposed.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has fainted from being fucked, why are you still picking on their anger? Stop it now!
As the black goat was knocked back to the mirror world and the effect of [War Diagon] stopped, the originally furious congressman's rage suddenly stagnated, and Leon also picked up the small silver hammer and began to ring the bell vigorously.
After the clanging bells drowned out the insults from the congressmen, Leon switched his badge, slammed the podium again, and shouted righteously:
"It would be fine if you just scolded me, but the Minister of Finance came up to give some advice and ended up being attacked. Now his life is in danger... Don't you feel ashamed?"
While the anger of the congressmen suddenly subsided and they were at a loss, Leon slammed the podium and cursed a few times, calming the situation. Then he shouted to the audience:
"Don't just worry about the assassin! Hurry up and get two people up here to carry the Minister down to the hospital to see if he can be saved!"
With the Chancellor of the Exchequer unconscious and Joshua confused, Lyon, the acting Speaker of the House of Lords, was the most distinguished person present. Upon hearing his shouts, several guards quickly came on stage and carried the Chancellor of the Exchequer away.
Also carried away along with the Chancellor of the Exchequer was the Marquis of Morley, whose two ribs were broken by the guards who pounced on him. His face turned pale with pain and he was unable to utter a word.
However, as the acting president, Leon was not sad for a moment for the absence of these two important members. He immediately picked up the hammer and knocked on the golden bell twice, saying loudly:
“Ladies and gentlemen, although the Chancellor of the Exchequer is missing, the House of Lords should not stop!
Next, we will vote on the proposal to increase the universal suffrage of citizens and expand the number of seats in the House of Commons. Is there any objection? If not, then..."
"and many more!"
Just as the Acting Speaker was about to force the meeting to continue, the middle-aged female MP who had stood up at the beginning and opposed the princess together with Earl Evans and Marquis Morley, claiming that the princess was digging up the roots of the kingdom, stood up again.
"The vote on the non-commissioned officer replacement order just now was too hasty! I request a new vote!"
After stopping Leon’s misbehavior, the middle-aged female councillor shouted angrily:
“Also, I don’t recognize your position as acting speaker, you are just messing around!
As a member of the Senate, I am impeaching you! And I demand that a temporary vote be added immediately to revoke your position as acting speaker!"
Before she finished speaking, the middle-aged female councillor stepped out from the crowd, stepped onto the main stage, and shouted to the audience:
"Members of the House of Lords! Now! Those who think he is qualified to continue to be the Speaker of the House of Lords, please raise your hands!"
Is he qualified to continue to be the Speaker?
As soon as the middle-aged female councillor's question fell, the meeting hall fell into silence. From the time a certain Duke of Lionheart and Prince-in-Chief presided over the parliament until now, the originally sacred and solemn parliament had been completely turned into a farce.
Faced with the absurd scenes that had just happened, even the most die-hard princess faction did not have the face to stand up and say that Lyon was qualified to continue to be the Speaker of the House of Lords. After all, they were all nobles and had to have some dignity.
"very good!"
Seeing that the audience was basically silent and only raised a dozen hands, the female councillor on the stage couldn't help but curl her lips slightly, then turned to look at Leon, and said loudly with a proud look:
"The result of the vote is already clear! Now I declare that your...what are you doing?"
"I'm digging for evidence."
After grabbing the middle-aged female councillor's hand, he took out a letter and two documents, slapped them on her hand, and then explained:
"This is the letter of the Baohua family, and the power of attorney signed by the current head of the Baohua family, Miss Emma, authorizing me to represent the Baohua family in the Senate, as well as the authorization document allowing me to exercise all rights of the Baohua family's seat as the Speaker of the Senate."
“???” With the confused expression on the middle-aged female congressman’s face, Leon grabbed her arm and shook it, then turned sideways and said to the congressmen who were in an uproar below the stage:
“According to the Royal Code when the House of Lords was established, a proposal that is opposed by both the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker will be deemed to have been rejected; a proposal that is approved by both the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker will be deemed to have been passed if the royal family does not raise any objection.
Now, I declare that the proposal to abolish my position as acting speaker will not be passed in accordance with the kingdom's code, and you can leave now."
"..."
The Baohua family's letter of credit and authorization documents?
After seeing what Leon took out and asking someone to verify its authenticity, not only the middle-aged female congresswoman on the stage couldn't hold it anymore, but even the congressmen in the audience were also severely defeated.
The combined seats of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker are equivalent to a direct vote by two-thirds of the Senate. As long as the royal family does not use its veto power, it can directly block or pass a bill.
There is indeed such a clause in the kingdom's code, but that was when the kingdom was first founded hundreds of years ago. The combined strength of the Lionheart Family and the Treasure Flower Family was even greater than that of the royal family, so there was such a code, representing the royal family's respect for the "two pillars of the kingdom."
However, hundreds of years have passed, and the two pillars of the kingdom are no longer the same as they used to be. The Baohua family was destroyed in a rebellion six years ago, leaving only a single family. Although the Lionheart family is still barely alive, it is just an empty shell that has been almost drained dry by the princess.
But even though the situation has completely changed, this article has indeed remained in the kingdom's code for hundreds of years, and was still valid until six years ago, so...
According to the Kingdom Code, now the entire House of Lords is ruled by this bastard Speaker?
"You...you don't count..."
The middle-aged female councillor was so angry that her lips turned blue after hearing the trump card that Leon suddenly pulled out, but she still insisted:
"Although you hold the sash of the Baohua family, I..."
"I am now proposing a temporary motion to deprive you of your membership in parliament."
After interrupting the middle-aged female councillor, Leon raised his left hand first in front of the blank gazes of the councillors.
"The Speaker of the House of Lords approved it."
Then he raised his right hand again.
“The deputy speaker also approved it.”
Then, Leon reached out and took off the parliamentary ribbon on the middle-aged female councillor's chest. In her blank eyes, he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the door, and said politely:
"The proposal has been passed. You are no longer a member of the Senate. Please leave."
"..."
No... How could you do that? You don't even try to pretend, do you? ! ! !
The middle-aged female councillor turned her head and looked at the freckled prince on the throne, screaming:
"Your Highness Joshua! He is totally out of control now! Please use the royal veto power to reject his ridiculous proposal!"
Yes, I am a prince, attending the meeting on behalf of the royal family, and I also have a veto power!
After hearing the reminder from the middle-aged female councillor, Joshua, whose brain had crashed due to a series of actions by Leon, suddenly woke up, then subconsciously sat up straight, and mustered up the courage to glare at Leon.
However, just as he slammed the armrest of the throne and was about to refute him harshly, he found that Leon had skillfully rolled up his right sleeve and was looking at him with a look of satisfaction.
"..."
