| Message | There will also be an RP Senate. Senate elections will be every 4 in-game years. I think this bill will add a new angle to the game. I was talking OOC to the United Party of Beluzia on Discord and they told me about Beluzia's RP Senate and I was very interested by the idea. Vote yes if you want a bicameral Congress or no if you want to keep the current unicameral system. |

| Message | The proposed Senate would have 375 seats (Half of the size of the current unicameral Congress). In the event that a coalition or singular party has a majority in the House, but not the Senate, then they'll have to form a confidence & supply agreement with one of the smaller parties in the Senate or include said party in their coalition deal. The main point of the Senate is to draft international treaties and to approve spending and taxation bills. What does everyone think? |
