# 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 This guide is outdated as senators now have UI.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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.liberland.org/blockchain/for-citizens/senate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
