The ''Jatiyo Sangsad'' ("National Parliament"; (ベンガル語:জাতীয় সংসদ) ''Jatiyô Sôngsôd''), often referred to simply as the ''Sangsad'' or JS and also known as the House of the Nation,〔http://www.parliament.gov.bd/general-2.html〕 is the supreme legislative body of Bangladesh. The current parliament of Bangladesh contains 350〔http://www.parliament.gov.bd/mp_list_9th.htm〕 seats, including 50 seats reserved for women, which are apportioned on elected party position in the parliament. Elected occupants are called Members of Parliament or MP. The 10th National Parliamentary Election was held on 5 January 2014 and under normal conditions, elections are called every five years. The leader of the party (or alliance of parties) holding the majority of seats becomes the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, and the head of the government. The President of Bangladesh, the ceremonial head of state, is chosen by Parliament. The parliament is housed in the Jatiyo Sangsad Bhaban (জাতীয় সংসদ ভবন ''Jatiyô Sôngsôd Bhôbôn'') designed by the American architect, Louis Kahn.〔("Louis Kahn" ), University of Pennsylvania〕 Since the December 2008 national election, the current majority party is the Bangladesh Awami League. It is led by the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. ==Membership== Article 66 of the Constitution makes membership open to any citizen of Bangladesh and ''only'' to citizens above the age of 25 (dual citizenship is possible for civilians in Bangladesh, but not for MPs).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/research/bangladesh-constitution.pdf )〕 Members are elected by direct polls in their respective constituencies. Whoever wins the most votes, regardless of turnout or proportion, wins the election. Members are elected for a term of 5 years;〔 the entire Parliament dissolves 5 years after the swear-in. Members can be re-elected indefinitely. They may be independent or affiliated with a political party. Members must not have served time in prison for more than 2 years to be eligible, unless they served this period five years prior to the elections.〔 Article 67〔 states that members absent without leave for 90 consecutive sitting days will lose their membership. Any ambiguity regarding membership will be resolved by the Bangladesh Election Commission. Attending sessions without being a member (even if memberships are cancelled in retrospect) is fined by a BDT1,000 ($14) fine per day, per Article 69.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jatiyo Sangshad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
