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 regional proportional representation. It is one of two legislative bodies on the national level, the other being the National Assembly.
The Senate was established by the Constitution in 1972 as the country's supreme legislative body, following the concept of parliamentary sovereignty. However today it plays a secondary role in national politics behind the executive.
Despite the authority originally granted to it under the constitution, the Senate usually exercises a secondary, albeit important, role in national politics. Nevertheless the Senate has the final authority on all legislation. In addition it must approve appointment of the Cabinet of Carucere and the Premier of Carucere and grants authorization to presidential decrees. In addition, it maintains many supervisory powers such as the power to impeach officials, dismiss the Premier and the Cabinet by a majority vote, impeach and remove the President, and to dissolve itself and call new elections. Until an election is completed, the Senate and thus the President, maintains authority in its current composition.
