The Diet consists of two Houses — the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors; each House is composed of elected Members, who represent all the people.
Each House has plenary sittings and committees. In addition, each House has a Commission on the Constitution, a Board of Oversight and Review of Specially Designated Secrets, and a Deliberative Council on Political Ethics.
The Diet as a whole also has the Judge Indictment Committee to institute removal proceedings against judges and the Judge Impeachment Court to try those judges.
