# SLAM Senate The SLAM Senate serves as the principle oversight body of the [SLAMai DAO](/governance/slamai-dao.md), ensuring that proposals and actions of the DAO are consistent with the [SLAMai mission](/welcome-to-slamai/mission-and-vision.md) and don't breach any laws, regulations or duties applicable to the DAO. It consists of Senators elected by [$SLAM](/tokens/slam.md) token holders. *** ### SLAM Improvement Proposal Ratification SLAM Improvement Proposals (SIPs) submitted by [.slam NFT](/tokens/.slam-nft.md) holders and passed by the [House of SLAM](/governance/house-of-slam.md) are sent to the SLAM Senate for full ratification. The DAO's bylaws govern this ratification process. All Senate-ratified SIPs are then passed to the [DAO Administrator](/governance/dao-administrator.md) for enactment and execution. *** ### DAO Administrator Oversight The SLAM Senate is responsible for the appointment and oversight of the DAO Administrator, ensuring that actions of the DAO are in accordance with its mission and applicable laws and regulations. The Senate has authority, in accordance with the DAO's bylaws, to retain or replace the DAO Administrator at any time. *** ### Composition & Election Any .slam NFT holder in good-standing is eligible to run for office as a Senator in the SLAM Senate. The DAO's bylaws govern the size and composition of the Senate, eligibility, length of terms, and election process by $SLAM token holders. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
