Cheap and easy scam; first few senators who notice this passing (or the assessor and confederates) switch themselves to being the only senators and call a session and push something through. Can all happen in one message with powers of attorney. (This may not work perfectly but you get the idea). Even if this is trivially fixed (e.g. within the proposal flip all currently active senators to being senators by switch), consider: We purposefully designed the senate as a block against bad invasion proposals but not a source of power in and of itself, and it is a feature not a bug that they can stop things but push things through. -G.
