The Senate is thus the highest organ of the American state. And if we look back to the Roman Senate, upon which the founding fathers based our Senate, remember the phrase Senatus Populusque Romanus - SPQR - the Senate and People of Rome. Notice how the word order shows that the Senate is independently sovereign and in fact comes before the People. Long live the Senate! --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
