The Dominion Senate is the main and most powerful ruling body of the Dominion. It is what sets down the laws, guidelines, and regulations of the Dominion voted upon in a fair and just way.

Each planet as well as moons is given two Senators. (Although some worlds mainly penal colonies and newer member nations and smaller colonies are given only one Senator and 2 repesentatives)

Each planet or moons is also given 6 repesentatives. The only differnece btween a repesentative and a Senator is what their vote ocunts for. A senator's counts as 2 and repesentative's are worth only one. So each planet or moon has a total of 10 votes.

Each senator runs for 10 years while a repesentative runs for 5.

The Senate also elects a 'Speaker' for life after the last one has died. He is generally considered the de facto leader of the senate and holds much power. Although if he is found to be corrupt or just unliked they can replace him with a canidate voted upon by the majority.

Another important note is that every bill placed will stay active for 5 years no matter what. (Thus no mistakes can be made.)

Majortity vote is simple who ever holds more then 50% of the vote wins.
