The Senate of Carucere (Gaullican: Sénat de Caruquère, Papotement: Senat Karuku) is the primary legislative body of Carucere. The Senate is composed of 79 members, who are directly elected for 4-year terms by nationwide proportional representation. It is one of two legislative bodies on the national level, the other being the National Assembly.
The origins of the Senate trace to the colonial legislature formed during the Gaullican colonial era. The direct predecessor for the current institution was the provincial legislature, established after its incorporation into the Arucian Federation in 1934. Following the establishment of an independent Carucere in 1954, it became the new country's legislative body. However political crises following the succession of several weak Preimers during the 1950s and 1960s weakened the authority of the Senate. Jean Preval's self-coup and new constitution in 1972, ended the Senate's supreme authority over the rest of the federal government. The country shifted away from a parliamentary republic and the Senate had to share a system of checks and balances with the Council of State. Its role further changed with the establishment of the National Assembly of Carucere as a second legislative body on the federal level.
Today, the Senate usually exercises a secondary, albeit important, role in national politics. The Senate has the final authority on all legislation and its approval is required for legislation to pass; in addition the Senate has the power to veto decrees signed by the President. The President's appointment for the Cabinet of Carucere and the Premier must be approved by the Senate. It also has the power to impeach officials, dismiss the Premier and the Cabinet by a majority vote, impeach and remove the President, veto presidential decrees, and to dissolve itself and call new elections. Until an election is completed, the Senate maintains its authority in its current composition.
