[[The Landsraad]] is the highest (and currently the only) legislative body in Shireroth. A Bill (alternately called an Act or an Amendment) is any legislation brought to the floor of the Landsraad for consideration and passage into law.

Bills and the Lawbook

Previously, bills and acts stood alone after being passed. This method was highly disorganized, and made it difficult to actually remember which laws were passed and which ones were in effect. This was changed when the Lawbook was instated. It is now obligatory that all laws be added to the Lawbook.

Bills and the Kaiser

Bills cannot violate Imperial Decrees, unless the Kaiser specifies that specific decrees may. The Kaiser may veto any bill brought before the Landsraad before it even comes to vote, and the Landsraad has no recourse should that happen. The Kaiser may also place Bills in the Landsraad as he is considered to be the highest noble. See Also:The Landsraad, The Kaiser, Imperial Decrees
