The Imperial Romulan Senate
The Romulan seat of power is centered on Romulus. It is a totalitarian government ruled by an individual called the Praetor, who is advised by an Imperial Senate. The Romulan Government is designed to use check and balances to prevent any one segment from seizing unwarranted power and endangering the system, with the Imperial Praetor having the most actual power. It is comprised of both military command members and civilian legion heads, and serves primarily as the legistative branch of the government. Its main duties include the implementation and enforcement of the laws passed by the Imperial Senate and of those outlined by the Praetor.
Imperial Senate in a Judicial Review



Imperial Senate Members		 The Imperial Praetor has veto power over all decisions, in effect acting as a separate branch of government himself. The Imperial Senate is the legislative body responsible for the proposal and passing of legislation. Members of the Imperial Senate are chosen by the Imperial Praetor and are vested with the delegatory powers offered to them individually. Pre-Republican Era, it was formed of an Upper House and a Lower House each with different responsibilites; but following the Great Senatorial Disaster, the reformation of our Empire has merged both Houses together to increase power within the government.
