Draft Senate Traditions:

While a great deal of what the Nova Roman Senate does is required or
sanctioned by law or constitutional provision there are a few
important conventions that have been established by tradition and
consensus.

The first and most important is the Senate seal. This is an unwritten
but mutually agreed to procedure in which the content of Senate
discussions are kept within the confines of the Senate. Senators may
discuss issues between themselves and other Senators as long as non-
Senators are not privy to these discussions.

The presiding officers of the Senate (Consul, Praetor or Tribune)
are allowed to have experts come before the Senate to deliver a given
plan or present support for a given agenda item. These guests must
adhere to the Senate seal just as Senators do.

An exception to this is that Magistrates like Consuls, Praetors and
Censors may discuss maters pertaining to the Senate with their staffs
in order to develop or draft proposals but they do not discuss who
said what on the Senate floor. Discussion of Senate business is
otherwise kept within the Senate.

While Tribunes are required to witness the proceedings of the Senate
and to report Senate voting results to the people, they are expected
to adhere to the Senate seal as if they were a member of the Senate.

Another Senate growing tradition is that Senators allow the Consuls
to vote first on the agenda followed by the Princeps Senatus and then
having the rest of the Senate cast their own votes.
