- Step 2: The National Assembly convenes jointly and consists of the elected Council of Representatives and the appointed Consultative Council.

National Assembly.
Why not the others: 'Federal Supreme Council' is the highest constitutional authority in the UAE; 'Consultative Shura Board' refers to Saudi Arabia's unicameral council; 'House of Representatives' omits the upper house.
