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.

From 1920 to 1940, the members of the Federal Senate were directly elected by the population. In January 1945, through an amendment to the Basic Law, a new composition was introduced, whereby the members of the Federal Senate are now appointed by the respective state parliaments and each federal state takes over the presidency for one year.

Composition

The distribution of seats in the Federal Senate is based on the governing coalitions of the Besmenian states.

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.

Number of seats

Between 1920 until 1944 the number of seats was 52. On the occasion of the the new composition law of 1945 the Federal Senate agreed on the following number of seats:

  • Each state receives at least four seats

- if there are fewer than five million inhabitants, four seats
- if there are more than five million inhabitants, five seats
- with more than 10 million inhabitants six seats

List of members of the Besmenian Federal Senate

Key

Presidency

The executive committee consists of the president and a vice president. With the new composition act of 1945, 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. The term of the presidency is one year. Zollingia was the first western Besmenian state to assume the presidency in 1969.

The current president is the Greuningian governor Linda Seidenbach, who took office on January 1, 2024.
