CHAPTER ONE - SENATE LEADERSHIP The Military Council is the ruling body of the Directorate. Members of the Military council over see the entire Directorate. The Senate leadership on the other hand runs day-to-day operations of the planets themselves and their representatives. They do not represent and actual planets but may participate in Senate competitions according to their planet of origin. A leader of the senate may not influence planetary voting, but may belong to a Party and debate to that end (albeit with minimal activity, as their position commitments should always take priority over the party). They may compete in Senate wide or Party competitions if they have not been tasked to moderate or run the competition. HC-1 Chancellor of the Senate (CHS) The Chancellor is the leader of the Imperial Senate, chosen by the Executor. He appoints Senate leaders, and has the authority to approve or deny Senate legislation. It’s his responsibility to report weekly on the state of the Senate to the Executor, as well as releasing a “Senatorial Address” every month. The Chancellor acts as the chief administrator of the Senate Complex, which includes the Senate Hall, Forum, Floor, and University. All Senate-wide competitions must receive CHS approval and awards above the Emblem of the Senate [EoS] are strictly distributed by the Chancellor. HC-2 Senator Prime (SPR) The Senator Prime is the second-in-command of the Imperial Senate. His primary duty is to oversee Parties within the Imperial Senate; hence all party-based competitions require SPR approval. Additionally, ideas submitted for Senate-wide competitions (at the party-level) must go through the SPR before they’re forwarded to the Chancellor. The SPR also acts as the administrator of the Senate Floor, scheduling legislation drafts and bill proposals. He is elected every three months by a majority vote of the senate. HC-3 Minister of Records (M: REC) The Minister of Records is responsible for approving all medals below [EoS] and maintaining the Senate’s rosters, which includes transfers, updating personal information, and the Senate’s primary mailing list.
