The legislative branch consists of a 250-seat unicameral People's Council. Members are elected by direct popular vote on the basis of single-member electoral districts for four-year terms. Half of the seats in the People's Council are reserved for the Baath Party. The Council sits in three regular sessions annually but may be called into special session. In theory, the functions of the council include the nomination of a presidential candidate, enactment of laws, discussion of government policy, approval of general budget and development plans, and ratification of treaties. In practice, however, the legislature has no independent authority, because the executive branch effectively controls the legislative process. The assembly may criticize government policies and modify draft laws, but it cannot initiative legislation.
