abstract
| - The composition and powers provided for the Senate are invested in Section II of Article V of the Constitution of Sierra. As the upper house, the Senate has several exclusive powers not granted to the House including confirming executive appointments of certain officials, consenting to treaties prior to ratification, and overseeing the trial of impeached officials. Bills pertaining to money and budgetary issues however, must originate in the House of Commons, not the Senate. Although the Senate is considered the upper house, the distinction does not imply its superiority over the House of Commons, rather, all of its members and officers outrank those in the House for the sake of protocol. Traditionally however, the Senate has been perceived as the more prestigious and respectable chamber out of the two. Indeed, with longer terms, a smaller membership, and wider representation, membership in the Senate is perceived to be second, if not equal to serving in the executive branch in terms of power and status.
