Supreme legislative authority is held by 211-member unicameral parliament, known as the congress. Most executive powers are wielded by the cabinet, known as the council, and it's head the serenissimo. After each Congress election, the parties negotiate among themselves on forming a new council, which then has to be approved with simple majority by the Congress.
