== Composition ==

The House of Commons shall be comprised of elected representatives (from any Service or Branch) who are members of Chapters within the areas of responsibility for each Station and Fleet. The House of Commons will have no more than 150 Members.

'''Areas of Responsibility – Fleets and Stations:'''<br>
A minimum of one member shall represent each Fleet or Station’s AOR. In addition, a Fleet or Station’s Area of Responsibility earns one additional seat in the House of Commons for every two Chapters (including LACs). At least 5 officers and 5 enlisted personnel shall be required to vote for the vote to be valid. The House of Commons may vote to revise the 2:1 chapter-to-seat ratio, with concurrence of the Royal Council, as the total House of Commons membership approaches the maximum.

'''Holding Chapters:'''<br>
Holding Chapters, due to their global nature, are spread over a large geographical area. Holding Chapters members may run for any open House of Commons seat in the Fleet/Station Area of Responsibility where they reside. For the purpose of allocating representatives, Holding Chapters do not add to the total number of House of Commons members allowed for each Fleet.

Members of the House of Commons are entitled to use the post-nominal “MP” during their term of service. Former Members of Parliament (MPs) may be addressed as "The Honorable" after serving a full term.
