Role and Profile

Despite the limited political powers of the Senate, it has gained a huge amount of political press and profile, especially during its early time in the Republic. With the General Assembly comprising over a thousand members, later three thousand, it was difficult for anyone to emerge as a star and gain a lot of media visibility.
The Senate, with its much smaller membership and more collegial atmosphere, therefore gained a lot of visibility and has been a launching platform for several Presidential campaigns
There has been some criticism that the Senate represents a break in "separation of powers" as it has a judicial and a legislative role
