Senate of Burkina Faso
The Senate is Burkina Faso's uncreated legislative upper chamber under the amended Constitution of Burkina Faso. The original upper house (Chamber of Representatives) was abolished in 2002, making the legislature unicameral. The upper house was to have been restored under the name "Senate" in the June 2012 constitutional amendments. This revision was never executed due to an extended and unresolved political confrontation over the Senate's establishment, which left the country effectively with a unicameral legislature as of the October 2014 constitutional crisis.
==Constitutional framework==
Under the amended constitution, the parliament of Burkina Faso (theoretically) consists of two chambers, the directly elected National Assembly and the Senate. Only the National Assembly currently exists in practice. The Senate would have been composed of representatives of the local governmental divisions, customary and religious authorities, employers, workers, and citizens living abroad, with the addition of persons appointed by the President of Burkina Faso. Only those senators representing the local governments would have been elected (via indirect elections by the elected local governments). The interest group senators would have been chosen by their respective organizations. All potential senators would have had to be at least 40 years old to seek or be appointed to the office. Senatorial terms would have lasted for six years (one year longer than deputies in the Assembly).
Had the Senate been created as required under the constitution, both chambers would have the power to initiate and vote on proposals of laws, except budgetary laws that would originate in the lower house.
