Today's Congress opened with Speaker of the House Stanisław Małachowski addressing a point of procedural uncertainty—whether to prioritize the ongoing discussion over new fundamental laws or address the pressing issue of reducing the number of Cabinet positions. Ultimately, he decided not to diverge from the cardinal laws discussion. The Speaker permitted Representative Jan Łuszczewski to present propositions and announce the majority decision.

Before the reading, Representative Seweryn Potocki from Bracław requested earlier session starts, lamenting time wasted. Meanwhile, Representative Jan Jordan from Kraków raised a procedural objection regarding a potential protest of a Representative from Nur and its implications on the legislative record.

In a dramatic exchange, Representative Aleksander Zieliński from Nur defended his right to return and participate in the session after an earlier protest, suggesting that while his physical presence may categorize him differently, his opposition remained recorded in the minutes.

Amidst this procedural debate, President Stanisław August Poniatowski offered a candid admission that his ceding of certain prerogatives had been under the duress of foreign threats rather than volunteered, which might've led some to question the legislative process and its legitimacy.

As the talks unfolded, Representative Tomasz Wawrzecki from Bracław passionately expressed gratitude to the former Secretary of the Treasury for Lithuania-Belarus, firmly opposing the amalgamation of the Polish-Ukrainian and Lithuanian-Belarusian treasuries.

There were then legislative discussions on whether to allow the President to appoint and dismiss public officials—an amendment suggesting that only the President had the authority to elect kings was proposed by Representative Wojciech Świętosławski from Volhynia, but was met with mixed reactions. The Senate suggested sending proposals to the general public for reflection, a suggestion that sparked further debate on the nature and security of the current and future monarchies.

As discussions veered into the subject of potential British-styled monarchy systems and the potential pitfalls of them, some Representatives like Wojciech Suchodolski from Chełm warned about the risks of introducing a hereditary monarchy and suggested adhering to a provider of the republic.

Finally, President Poniatowski adjourned the session with a summons for the Cabinet, delaying further discussion for two days.

Wrapping up the day's intense discussion, the debate at the Congress eloquently illustrated the delicate balance between entrenched traditions and radical reforms on the eve of a new constitutional reality.
