The Federal Senate (Besmenian: Bundessenat) is the upper house of the Federal Republic of Besmenia. Through the Federal Senate, the states participate in federal legislation and administration as well as in international affairs. Each state is represented by members of its state government. In this way, the interests of the federal states are taken into account in the formation of the political will of the state as a whole.

Composition

The parties that are involved in the state government in the respective state are represented in the Federal Senate. The individual members of the Federal Senate are sent to the Federal Senate by their individual state chambers. The prerequisite is that the members of the Federal Senate must have a seat in their state chambers. The distribution of seats changes after a state election and the subsequent formation of a new government in the respective state.

If a state is represented with 4 seats, if there are two parties in the regional state government, both parties will receive 2 seats. In a state government with three parties, the leading party receives 2 seats, while the other two parties receives one seat.

If there are 5 seats, with a coalition of two parties in the state government, the strongest party receives 3 seats and the second strongest 2 seats. In coalitions with three parties, the first and second strongest party receives 2 seats, while the third strongest receives one seat.

Presidency

The executive committee consists of the president and a vice president. When it was founded in 1920, agreement was reached on an order in which these representative offices should be filled: the governors of the federal states assume the presidency of the Federal Senate in alphabetical order of their federal states. Since 1925 the term of the presidency has been two years, before that it was one year. Frankenburg was the first western Besmenian state to assume the presidency in the period of 1975-1977.

The current president is the Summingian governor Georg Stuck, who took office on October 20, 2021.
