The Senate of Carucere (Gaullican: Sénat de Caruquère, Papotement: Senat Karuku) is the primary legislative body of Carucere. It is granted supreme authority under the Constitution of the Republic of Carucere following the concept of parliamentary sovereignty, with the exception of checks and balances from the courts and local governments. It is one of two legislative bodies on the national level, the other being the National Assembly.
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.
