Later, the senate was expanded to include all Yamataian Citizens, but this was later rescinded via Proposal 104.+The Imperial Senate of Yamatai consists of the elected system representatives of citizens of the [[faction:yamatai star empire]] which acts under the authority granted to them by [[faction:yamatai:constitution]]. Oversight of the senate falls directly to the elected Imperial Premier who is responsible for moderating discussion in the Senate to ensure fairness and compromise but the Empress/Emperor holds the authority to approve or veto proposals made by the Senate if she/he feels the proposals violate/conform to the ideals of the [[faction:yamatai:constitution]]. 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]].
