There are presently no term limits for Senators but there is a 5 year term limit for the Imperial Premier. It sits in the [[faction:yamatai:imperial_palace]].

 +=====History of the Senate=====
 +The Imperial Senate was first created in [[timeline:ye_23]] with the creation of [[faction:yamatai:senate:imperial_advisor_act|Proposal #1, The Imperial Advisor Act]], in which [[stararmy:ranks:taisho]] [[characters:yamatai:yui]] named advisors to help form the Yamataian government until the senate could be formed which formed the two government branches of [[faction:yamatai star empire]].
  
 +[[faction:yamatai:imperial_decree_15]] by Emperor [[characters:uesureya:kitsurugi_uesu]] in [[timeline:ye_28]], was based on and superseded [[faction:yamatai:senate:imperial_voting_procedure_act|Proposal #2 - Voting Procedure Act]] and #32 - Update to Voting Procedure Act, shifting from weighted votes of individual citizens to votes placed by System representatives.
 +
 +In [[timeline:ye_30]] the senate saw a change in policies as Emperor [[characters:uesureya:kitsurugi_uesu]] resigned and named, [[stararmy:ranks:taisho]] [[characters:yamatai:ketsurui-motoyoshi_katsuko|Motoyoshi Katsuko]] as Empress. The senate proposed and participated in the [[timeline:events:international_relations_conference_of_ye_30]] with delegates from [[faction:elysia:elysian_celestial_empire]], [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia]], Kohana and even, [[characters:mishhuvurthyar:melisson]] representing the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:smx]]. 
 +
 +[[faction:yamatai:imperial_decree_19]] issued by Empress [[characters:yamatai:ketsurui-motoyoshi_katsuko|Motoyoshi Katsuko]] removed the Senate's ability to effect matters directly concerning the [[stararmy:start]]. Later in [[timeline:ye_30]], the senate was expanded to include all Yamataian Citizens, but this was later rescinded under [[characters:yamatai:ketsurui_himiko]] in [[timeline:ye_34]] with the passing of [[faction:yamatai:senate:restoration_of_system_senators|Proposal 104]] and restructured under the adoption of [[faction:yamatai:constitution]].
 +
 +=====Responsibilities of the Senate =====
 +[[faction:yamatai:constitution]] places the powers and responsibilities of the Senate as the following:
 +
 +      - The Imperial Senate is vested with the power to create and revise law, by way of the creation of a Proposal which must be approved by majority vote and presented to the Emperor or Empress for approval or veto. In all cases of creating a law, the essential rights of all citizens must be respected.
 +  -     The power to override vetoes by the Emperor or Empress of Yamatai provided that over 80% of the Senate votes to override the veto.
 +  -     The Imperial Senate is vested with the power to manage the financial and material resources of the Empire, with the exclusion of those designated for defense.
 +  -     The Imperial Senate has the sole power to elect and direct the Imperial Premier of Yamatai.
 +
 +====The Imperial Premier====
 +[[faction:yamatai:constitution]] designates the Imperial Premier as the executive director of the government’s various departments and moderator of the Imperial Senate, ensuring there is compromise and fairness. She is a liaison between the State and the People. The Imperial Premier is vested with the power to conduct foreign affairs on behalf of the Empire and to create treaties with other nations, subject to approval by the Emperor or Empress of Yamatai. She can also appoint and direct leaders of government departments responsible for Imperial business.
 +
 +The current Imperial Premier as of [[timeline:ye_45]] is [[characters:yamatai:hanako]]. The previous Imperial Premier was [[characters:yamatai:ketsurui-motoyoshi_katsuko]].
 +
 +=====The Senate in Roleplay=====
 +The Senate has been an ongoing Faction plot that primarily deals with generating the laws, treaties and policies that govern the [[faction:yamatai star empire]] and [[stararmy:start]] since 2003. It is the chance as a player to directly impact the IC setting and government of the [[faction:yamatai star empire]] through political roleplay to the setting. It has no GM in a traditional sense but is governed by the GM that plays the Empress/Emperor and Premier, [[members:wes]].   
 +
 +====Senate Links====
 +Senate discussions are located in the Yamatai Government Forum and can be found under the thread prefixes: "Senate - VOTING" ; "Senate - PASSED"; "Senate - Defeated" ; Senate - MISC" and "Imperial Degree" for faster sorting under the forum search options.

 +  * You have to like Yamatai, don't go trying to sabotage it from the inside.

 +  * //After// you are approved, you can bring a relevant character, if any, or create a new [[:characters|NPC]]. 
 +    * New NPCs must be approved, still, however the process is much more lenient.
