[color=#FF0000]BREAKING NEWS



Congressional Hall passed a resolution condemning President Anya Bishop, the first time in over 130 years that a sitting President has been condemned by the Legislative Branch of the government. The Congress Chamber voted to condemn President Bishop over her use of military mobilization to counter violent protests on Saturday night that caused widespread destruction in the capital, including the injuries of several officers and hundreds of protesters. An officer was killed by a brick thrown by protesters, and three protesters were killed by police who fired into the crowd in separate incidents - the first time lethal force has been used in Zamastanian protests in over a decade. The protests were in response to conceived poor management of the government by Bishop and her economic policies, both foreign and domestic.

The violence caused outrage across Zamastan as images circled social media of the police counter-protest methods switched to tear gas and rubber bullets.

Speaker of the Chamber, Foley Sakzi, was the only member of the Congress Chamber to abstain from voting, though he made it clear that he agreed with the resolution to condemn the President.

"Bishop has severely undermined the safety of the citizens of our nation, who have a right to congregate, disagree, and protest. The fact that she utilized military force on her own people, on my people, on the Zamastanian people, is enough room for judgement and condemnation."

According to Congressional rules, the official condemnation needs to pass with a two-thirds majority in the Senate to be ratified. President William Castovia was condemned in 1878 following a massacre of Parabocan prisoners of war. He was subject then to a vote of non-confidence. He survived the vote, but it is unclear if Bishop will be sent through the same process of a vote of no-confidence.

THIS IS AN ONGOING STORY: STAY TUNED
