However, a citizen must apply to become a Member of Parliament through the Speaker of Parliament in order to directly participate in the Parliament.

The application for membership into the Parliament may be amended by the Speaker of the Parliament, upon approval from the Parliament.

In order to become a Member of Parliament, one must be a citizen, Domestic or Foreign. Once one sends meets citizenship qualifications and applies for membership into the Parliament via the Speaker of Parliament, they shall automatically be granted membership, with all the rights and titles granted thereof.
Article V:
Although the right to be a Member of Parliament is inherent of and to all citizens, it can be limited for logical reason. "Logical Reason" being convicted of a crime within the CFN Judicial System, abusing the powers of being a citizen or Member of Parliament, etc.

No limitations are to be placed on domestic MPs, unless in accordance with Article V.
Article VII:
Membership requirements for the Parliament can be changed by a supermajority (75%) of the Parliament.
