The Parliament of the Republic of Malta (commonly referred to as the Parliament of Malta) is the constitutional legislative body in Malta, located in Valletta. Parliament alone possesses legislative supremacy however falls within the confines of a more supreme Constitution of Malta. The parliament is unicameral, with a democratically elected House of Representatives and the President of Malta. The House of Representatives meets in the Grandmaster's Palace in Valletta (commonly known as the House of Parliament). By Constitutional law, all government ministers, including the Prime Minister, are members of the House of Representatives, and are thereby accountable to the respective branches of the legislature.
