The Senate, officially the Senate of Roscamistan, is the upper house of the National Assembly, the bicameral legislature of Roscamistan, the other house being the Chamber of Representatives. The Senate is the third in the line of upper houses of legislatures in Roscamistan, superseding the Senat (upper house of the Reichstag) and the Provisional Senate (upper house of the Legislative Council). Its members, fielded by the Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front in accordance with Article 10 of the Constitution, are elected by single transferable vote in multi member constituencies.
Structure
The Senate was originally made up of 12 senators, who were appointed by the President of Roscamistan de facto on individual merit, for a term of seven months. After the Senate Reform Act was passed, the amount of seats set for the second Senate was 9, elected by single transferable vote in multi member constituencies, called the Outer, Metropolitan and Overseas Constituencies.
Leadership
The Leadership of the Senate is composed of the Majority and Minority Caucuses. The President of the Senate due to his status as the ex office presiding officer and speaker of said Senate, is not a Senator and is not part of the leadership. The Majority Leader serves as the leader of the Senate, with the Minority Leader serving as shadow leader of the Senate. The caucus whips enforce the positions of the caucuses and collect votes from their members on important issues.
