Senate Reform Act

I. The Senate of the Roman Byzantine Union shall consist of five World Assembly members that reside in the region. Senators cannot be sitting government or judicial members.

II. Senators are responsible for creating the laws that govern the region. The Senate may both put forward laws for vote, as well as confirm laws put forward by government for vote. Senate approval is required for the passage of any law.

III. Senators may be removed from the senate by leaving the region, or by ceasing to exist. They may also be removed for withdrawing from the WA. The Basileus can remove a Senator if they have a been deemed to not have participated in enough votes without sufficient reason. (Example: On Vacation)

IV. Senate bills have to be seconded by another senator before they can be brought upon the voting chamber.

V. Senators will vote in regular polls, but with their votes accounted for as a seperate chamber.

VI. Any senators that do not vote shall not count towards the voting count.

VII. Senators will serve for a unlimited amount of 3 month terms. Senate elections are to held starting on the 15 of January, April, July and October. Elections are to be 7 days long. All prospective Senators are to contact the Basileus or Symbasileus if the want to run. If not enough senators express their interests in running, ALL non government/Judicial WA members will have their names put forward and the 5 who receive the most votes will serve as senators.

VIII. If a Senator has been removed from their position for a reason laid out in act III, a special election will be called for a eligible member to serve out the remainder of that senators term.

IX. Senators will have their own chamber that lists the current sitting senators and their political association. If they have no political association they will be listed as independents. Chamber to be made visible from the regional factbook.

X. Senate size will be a odd number taking into consideration the size of the region, number of WA delegates and voting activity. The senate will scale up and down according to the principle of senate votes not exceeding 66 percent of votes cast or falling below 33 percent. If the senate is to expand or contract by the multiple of 2 required to keep this ratio it will take place in the next election period.

This act is to place rules and regulations around the election period for all public votes

1)Political candidates and party leaders can campaign on the RBU message board and discord in the 15 days before the election date, and during the official voting period. No political campaigning is to be allowed outside these allotted time frames.

2)If two or more major parties agree, there can be a debate held on the weekend before the election date. Debates will consist of answering a set of pre determined questions, after which party leaders can ask questions to each other. The executive and Judiciary will ensure that debates remain civil.

3)There will be no personal attacks on candidates by anyone. No name calling, slurs, obvious falsehoods. Any accusations made must be backed up by evidence, and the accuser may be held responsible for spreading false accusations.

4)No spamming the RBU message board or Discord. As such, the limit will be 3 campaign style messages per day maximum. Actual discussion or debate does not fall under this restriction.
