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 Great Assembly.
The origins of the Senate trace to the colonial legislature formed during the Gaullican colonial era. The modern institution of the Senate was established after the colony's incorporation into the Arucian Federation in 1934 y. Following the establishment of an independent Carucere, it became the new country's supreme legislative body. However economic and political infighting weakened the authority of the Senate, after a succession after several weak Preimers. Jean Preval's self-coup and the new constitution ratified in 1972, ended the Senate's absolute authority over the country. The country formally became a semi-presidential republic and the Senate had to share a system of checks and balances with the President of Carucere. 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. In addition it must approve the appointment of the Cabinet of Carucere and the Premier of Carucere. 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, 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.
