	Spanish Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spanish Senate (Spanish: Senado) is the upper house of the Cortes Generales, Spain's legislative branch.
		As a result, usually 3 senators from the most popular party are appointed, and 1 senator for the second party; sometimes a 2-2 result is obtained.
		In practice, the Senate has a subordinate role to the Congress of Deputies: the high-interest political debates are held in the Congress, and the Government is only responsible to it.

	THE SPANISH SENATE
		The Senate may meet in extraordinary session with a fixed agenda at the request of the Government or the Permanent Deputation (membership proportionate to party representation), or by an absolute majority of senators.
		Except when a motion of censure is being debated, the Senate (like the Congress and the Cortes generales) may be dissolved by Royal Decree on a proposal by the President of the government and after deliberation by the Council of ministers.
		The Senate may not be dissolved again for a year except by the King and countersigned by the President of the Congress where, within two months of the initial vote of confidence that the Congress asks of the person standing for President, no candidate has obtained the confidence of Congress.
