The Florian Senate is the Confederate States of Floria's upper house of its bicameral legislature, the Florian Congress. The Senate and the House have the authority to allow or deny federal legislation. It was originally established as the Florian House of Commons before being destroyed in the War of Lost Brothers. The new legislature, the Florian Senate became its replacement.
The Florian Senate has a total of 30 members, all voted into the Senate. Common tongue is the official language of the majority, but Martino was also spoken. Under constitutional reforms, the Senate was planned to be dissolved in 1733 AN. It was blocked by the Supreme court however and instead, the Senate was reduced to 32 seats.
The Senate has exclusive power to confirm presidential appointments to high offices, approve or deny treaties, and try cases of impeachment brought by the House. The Senate and the House provide a check and balance on the powers of the executive and judicial branches of government. All of Floria's states and territories are represented by two senators who serve 12-year terms. Unlike the President, however, Senators have no term limit. In total, the Senate consists of 32 members. Senators have been elected through a statewide popular vote since inception.
