The Senate of Nova Roma is the supreme policy making council of the government where the current magistrates, and a select few former magistrates (mostly of consular and praetorian rank) with our most excellent citizens who have been appointed as senators, can discuss the state of affairs of the res publica and issue Senatus consulta as directives. They can also issue the Senatus consultum ultimum. These are virtually all decisive in nature, sometimes in regards to appointments. It is said by Polybian theorists to represent the aristocratic element in the Roman political equilibrium.

ALBUM SENATORIUM
Overview
Current consuls, praetors, censors and appointed senators are members of the Nova Roman Senate. Senators are appointed by the censors. The list of senators is regularly revised by the censors, but senators removed either by nota or under the terms of the lex Popillia senatoria are removed from the list until the nota is removed and they are returned to the Senate by the Censors as a senator.
Present holders of higher magistracies who are not senators are entitled to attend and post during meetings of the Senate (the ius sententiae) by virtue of their office. Such non-senator holders of these offices may not vote in the Senate. This is the grandfathered right of ius sententiae dicendae.
Tribunes of the plebs are entitled to attend the sessions of the Senate but not vote, unless they are also a senator.
The decisions appointing new senators or removing existing senators
Such appointments or removals are made by both censors after the conclusion of each census.
