# Senate

This is a guide for Senators on how to perform senate actions. This guide is outdated as senators now have UI.

## Propose motion

### Spend from treasury

1. Visit [Polkadot.js Apps](https://polkadotjs.blockchain.liberland.org/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fmainnet.liberland.org#/extrinsics)
2. Go to Developer -> Extrinsics -> `senate` -> `propose(...)`
   * `threshold`: 51% \* number of senate members, round up. Examples:
     * 3 senate members - threshold = 2
     * 4 senate members - threshold = 3
     * 5 senate members - threshold = 3
   * `proposal`:
     * `llm` `treasuryLlmTransferToPolitipool(...)` (or `treasuryLlmTransfer` for liquid LLM or `treasuryLldTransfer` for LLD)
     * `toAccount`: recipient of LLM
     * `amount`: LLM in grains, so 1 LLM = `1000000000000` (12 zeros)
   * `lengthBound`: `54`

### Cancel referendum

1. Visit [Polkadot.js Apps](https://polkadotjs.blockchain.liberland.org/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fmainnet.liberland.org#/extrinsics)
2. Developer -> Extrinsics -> `senate` -> `propose(...)`
   * `threshold`: 51% \* number of senate members, round up
   * `proposal`:
     * `democracy` `emergencyCancel`
     * `refIndex`: index of referendum to cancel
   * `lengthBound`: `10`

### Cancel proposal

1. Visit [Polkadot.js Apps](https://polkadotjs.blockchain.liberland.org/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fmainnet.liberland.org#/extrinsics)
2. Developer -> Extrinsics -> `senate` -> `propose(...)`
   * `threshold`: 51% \* number of senate members, round up
   * `proposal`:
     * `democracy` `cancelProposal`
     * `refIndex`: index of referendum to cancel
   * `lengthBound`: `7`

## Voting on motions

### Get hash of proposal

1. Visit [Polkadot.js Apps](https://polkadotjs.blockchain.liberland.org/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fmainnet.liberland.org#/chainstate)
2. Developer -> Chain state -> `senate` -> `proposals()`
3. Click `+` button
4. The hash is the string that starts with `0x`.

### Check details

1. Visit [Polkadot.js Apps](https://polkadotjs.blockchain.liberland.org/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fmainnet.liberland.org#/chainstate)
2. Developer -> Chain state -> `senate` -> `proposalOf(h256)`
   * Put the hash from previous step.
3. Click `+` button
4. Make sure the section, method and args match what you expect.

### Vote

1. Visit [Polkadot.js Apps](https://polkadotjs.blockchain.liberland.org/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fmainnet.liberland.org#/extrinsics)
2. Developer -> Extrinsics -> `senate` -> `vote(...)`
   * `proposal`: hash from previous step
   * `index`: `0`
   * `approve`: `yes`

## Execution

After at least `threshold` number of senators voted yes, anyone can execute the motion:

1. Visit [Polkadot.js Apps](https://polkadotjs.blockchain.liberland.org/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fmainnet.liberland.org#/extrinsics)
2. Developer -> Extrinsics -> `senate` -> `close(...)`
   * `proposalHash`: hash from previous step
   * `index`: `0`
   * `proposalWeightBound`
     * `refTime`: `1307232`
     * `proofSize`: `0`
   * `lengthBound`: same as in Propose motion section
