The Senate Majority during the Fifth Republic. Different Configurations vis-à-vis the Executive
Pouvoirs n°159 - novembre 2016 - Le Sénat, pour quoi faire ? - p.53-64
In a bicameral parliamentary system, the lower chamber majority identities with the government and, if need be, supports the president, thus contributing to the institutional isolation of the higher chamber. A study of the various configurations that have characterised the relationship between the Senate and the executive reveals the apparition of a senatorial majority. However, its emergence does not imply a consistent exercise of legislative action, and the majority in the second chamber is not sufficient to explain its action and its institutional role.
