The 13th Federalist Republic Congress is the current meeting of the Federalist Republic Congress, the national unicameral legislature (and 7th meeting since the Government Reorganization Amendment) for the session of July-August. Memberships of the congress were decided in the July 2021 Federalist general election.

Continuous Chancellery Act
In January, the 7th Congress passed the Continuous Cabinet Act. However, a noticeable error regarding 'cabinet' was spotted. The Federalist Republic uses the term 'chancellery' in its absence. Speaker KingMarine passed a new law replacing the Continuous Cabinet Act fixing the error and permitting congress to hold hearings for chancellery officials of the new chancellery if necessary within a 3-day window.

Retirements

 * Speaker of the Federalist Congress Patryph retired from Congress, citing his plan to 'just be doing my civil duties in the Grand Army'.
