The Lyran Senate was an executive body of the Lyran Star Empire, tasked with the day-to-day administration of the Empire. However, it has almost no legislative power. (TOS video game: Starfleet Command (game)) Each Lyran count and Lyran duke appointed one senator apiece, with the King-Emperor of the Lyran Star Empire also appointing a senator.
