Draft:Airai State Legislature

The Airai State Legislature (Olbiil ra Ngerchumelbai) is the unicameral legislature of Airai, one of Palau's sixteen states. The legislature is composed of fifteen elected members, nine elected at-large and one for each of the state's six hamlets. Members are elected for four-year terms.

The legislature is granted significant authority from the state constitution, including the power to impeach the state governor and override the governor's veto by a two-thirds majority vote.

In addition to the legislature, the six traditional chiefs of Airai are organized in the extra-legislative Airai Council of Chiefs. The chiefs serve as an advisory body to the state governor in matters of traditional laws and customs.
