Volume 5 Heavy Tree History Chapter 688 The Fifth Congress is Established
All the officers of the Wehrmacht promptly elected Wang Maoru as the sole marshal of the Wehrmacht, but Wang Maoru was again refused, saying that his current achievements did not deserve to be promoted to marshal, and that although the Outer Northeast, Outer Northwest, and the northern part of Tangnu Ulianghai were actually occupied by the Wehrmacht, they were not internationally recognized.
Among them, the outer northwest and the northern part of the Tangnu Ulianghai are far away from the foreign powers, and they are beyond the reach of the whip, and they are occupied by the squadron ** that desolate land, at most they insult and accuse China of a few words, and their tentacles cannot reach there for the time being, and they comfort themselves that they (the Chinese) are bored to occupy some deserts and glaciers.
As for the two provinces in the outer northeast, the Wehrmacht forcibly occupied them internationally under the pretext of exterminating the Soviet and Russian guerrillas, and they were also not internationally recognized. And in Vladivostok in the outer northeast, not only the squadron is stationed, but also a regiment of the United States and a division of Japan. The Chinese are still stationed in the northeast in the name of the intervention army, and in the two provinces, the squadron must call itself an intervention army.
When Wang Maoru refused his subordinates, he said: "Now that China has only retained its national territory, and has not opened up its territory, who is qualified to be a marshal?" ”
The cronies led by Feng Jihua persuaded: "Xiushuai, your request is a bit too ...... It's harsh, so that China can produce a few marshals in the future. ”
Wang Maoru laughed and said: "It is not impossible for China to produce a marshal. To the east, occupy Korea, recover Sakhalin, occupy Japan, recover Taiwan, to the south, Laos, Vietnam, India, west to the land of Russia, haha, where is not where we Chinese can fight. Genghis Khan had a good saying. The place where the horse can run is the territory of our Great Yuan Empire. And I would say that those have been our China since ancient times. In the future, it will still be our China, and those who are not our China will definitely be our China in the future. (In fact, Genghis Khan did not say this, it was a sentence arranged by later generations in order to highlight Genghis Khan's exploits)
At the same time, the Senate session of the National Assembly was also convened. The parliament was divided into two houses, the House of Representatives and the Senate, and the first candidates to run for the posts of president and deputy speaker of the Senate were the first to race.
In the end, the speaker of the Senate was elected by Shi Shaoyang, a member of the National Renaissance Party. The deputy speaker was elected by KMT member Liao Chung-kai, with a total of 68 seats in the Senate, and has legislative power and constitutional amendment power. Veto the President's legislative bill. However, this parliament clearly stipulates that the Senate has absolute legislative power, and any new laws and regulations must be approved by the Senate. At the same time, anyone can entrust the president with the submission of new laws. The Senate is responsible for reviewing and vetoing it. Of course. The new legislation must be justified for demonstrating that the law is beneficial to the national and intended only for the nationals. In addition to legislative power, the Senate also has the power to impeach the president and the prime minister, and when the impeachment is successful, the president must resign, and the Senate must be dissolved, and the senator cannot serve as a senator for ten years. Similarly, since senators serve for up to eight years, senators can serve a maximum of two consecutive terms.
The rules also provide for powers that the Senate does not have. Senators are executive and therefore cannot interfere in the administration of the state. Because it is the first parliament of the Republic of China. It was the second Provisional Parliament, or the Anfu Parliament, and almost all of them mistakenly believed that they had executive power. However, the executive power is not vested in Congress, which is clearly beyond its own powers.
In the discussion between Wang Maoru and President Xu Shichang, Wang Maoru made strict limits on the power of the current Congress, and made it clear that the power of the Congress is not only progressive, but also for the president's power to be further expanded, which was supported by the six people who ran for the presidency. Therefore, after the Senate election, all senators swore an oath that they would never interfere in the executive and empty the country. The Senate also became the highest legislative body of the country and became a law.
On the day of the end of the Senate election, Army Chief Wang Maoru put forward the first legal bill, hoping to implement it nationwide, that is, the "Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Women and Children", but the bill was rejected by the Senate, because the law and regulations are too severe for the punishment of rapists and ** criminals.
However, because the power of the current Senate is only superficial, in fact, in the area under the responsibility of the National Defense Forces, the law enacted by Wang Maoru is still implemented for the immoral opposition to women such as rape and **. And because of the toughness of this temporary law, not only did the public sentiment be cleared and no women were injured again, but also many unjust, false and wrongful cases were produced, and many innocent people died as a result. Just this year, there was an incident in Changchun where a foreign woman was raped by a Chinese man, and the foreign woman was renamed a noble lady who fled to China from Russia, but was insulted by a group of Chinese men. She went to the ** hospital of Changchun City and accused the Changchun police of not protecting herself, and even did not file a case. The ** People's Court of Changchun City accepted the case and ordered the police to find the real culprit.
When the police found the real culprit, they found that the father of the five Chinese men had been massacred by the Russians during the Russo-Japanese War, and even one of their villages was killed, and they had a strong sense of revenge against the Russians, so they did this.
The hatred of more than 100 mouths made these orphans whose relatives were massacred by the Russian army in the Russo-Japanese War carried away when they grew up, and in terms of feelings, ** officials felt that even though these young men broke the law, they did not commit crimes to death, but in terms of law, the "Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Women and Children" requires these Chinese to die. Even this lawsuit caused a sensation in the five northeastern provinces, and many gentry of the Republic of China pleaded with the five young men one after another. But in the end, Wang Maoru gave instructions that the law is more important than feelings, and as soon as the situation is opened, the future legal fortress will collapse, and there will be no way to talk about a country under the rule of law.
The case also served as a wake-up call for members of the Senate to discuss whether the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Women and Children should be extended nationwide, and directly prompted the bill to be rejected.
Just the day after the first session of the Senate, the House of Representatives convened. The House of Representatives was first convened by Liao Zhipeng, secretary general of the president, and 441 members from 34 provinces and municipalities directly under the central government (Beijing) gathered together, and the original congress hall was suddenly crowded. Liao Zhipeng first proposed the House of Representatives Regulations Act, which limits the powers and obligations of the House of Representatives, and the first power of the House of Representatives is the right to elect the president, and in the process of presidential election, members of the Senate must follow the provinces of the House of Representatives to vote. For example, the Sichuan Provincial House of Representatives are all members of the Youth Promotion Research Association, but the two Kuomintang members of the Senate must also vote with the Youth Promotion Association to ensure the basic rights of the House of Representatives. Of course, there is no doubt that the greatest power of the House of Representatives, and the first fundamental right, is to elect the president, who is recommended by various parties, for example, there are six presidential candidates in this term.
Liao Zhipeng then announced the second basic right of the House of Representatives, the right to veto legislation, and if the bill proposed by the Senate does not conform to the national conditions and national interests, the House of Representatives has the right to veto the Senate's bill. Similarly, when a bill proposed by the president is vetoed by the Senate, if the House of Representatives supports the president, it can veto the Senate veto and thus support the president's bill. Although the House of Representatives does not have legislative power, the legislative veto power is equally responsible. And because the president is elected by the House of Representatives, under normal circumstances, the House of Representatives will support the bill proposed by the president. The House of Representatives, on the other hand, does not have the power to impeach the president and the prime minister, but it has the power to impeach ordinary officials, and the House of Representatives does not have the power to veto the impeachment of the president or the prime minister in the Senate. In the end, Liu Enge, chairman of the Youth Promotion Research Association, became the speaker of the House of Representatives, and the vice speaker of the House of Representatives was Liang Qichao, the leader of the Progressive Party.
First of all, the two houses of the US Congress are responsible to the president and the state, and in turn they restrain the president, while the Congress of the Republic of China has very Chinese characteristics in that the Senate and the House of Representatives are integrated at some times and check each other at other times. The Senate represents the interests of professional politicians, aristocrats or the big bourgeoisie, while the House of Representatives represents the common people and parties. The Senate is able to provide more professional bills, and compared to ordinary parties, the members of the Senate are professional politicians, who are opportunistic but cannot do without their expertise in dealing with people's livelihood and civil affairs. The House of Representatives, in turn, restricts these professional politicians, and can veto senators' bills if their bills hurt the people.
The two houses of the new National Assembly were formally established on June 6, the 10th year of the Republic of China, which is also the fifth National Assembly of the Republic of China. Most of them in the north, especially north of North China and in the border areas, are the National Renaissance Party, and the National Renaissance Party has also officially become a recognized national political party through this parliament. The election criteria for all members of the National Assembly are exactly the same, people of all ethnic groups who have and only have Chinese nationality, who only serve the Republic of China, who only serve the citizens of the Republic of China, who renounce their second nationality, who are over 18 years old, and who have lived in China for more than 10 years.
From the early years of the Republic of China to the tenth year of the Republic of China, after five congresses, it is enough to see that the Republic of China is turbulent, the first parliament was the beginning of the Republic of China, 80% of which are members of the Democratic Party, and Yuan Shikai dissolved the parliament. The second parliament was a parliament formed by Liang Qichao's Progressive Party, who supported Yuan Shikai, who later dissolved the parliament once again after Yuan Shikai became emperor. The third parliament was the provisional parliament during the presidency of Feng Guozhang, and the parliament was also compensated for its time, and was soon replaced by the Anfu parliament of the fourth parliament of the north and south.
It can be said that from the history of the existence of the parliament, we can see the turbulent history of the Republic of China. (To be continued.) )
