The Senate had a total of 120 Senators. The Fourth National Assembly at Argos had decreed that 21 of them would be selected by the Governor out of a pool three times that number, selected by the Assembly, while the other 6 would be appointed directly by the Governor. The Senate's function was advisory on all non-administrative votes. Elected to the office of President of the Senate was
Georgios Sisinis. When Kapodistrias was assassinated in 1831, the Senate transferred the Executive Powers to a three-person
Administrative Committee on 20 December 1831, presided by Kapodistrias' brother
Augustinos. The other members of the Committee were
Theodoros Kolokotronis and
Ioannis Kolettis. The Committee was dissolved in March 1832 after Augustinos left. On 28 March 1832, a new 5 person
Administrative Committee was created with
Georgios Kountouriotis,
Alexander Ypsilantis,
Andreas Zaimis,
Markos Botsaris, and
Spyridon Trikoupis. On 27 July 1832, the
Fifth National Assembly at Nafplion dismisses the Senate however the Senate does not acknowledge this decision. On 21 September 1832, the Senate appoints a new 3 person Administrative Committee to hold executive power. Finally, in January 1833 the Senate was permanently dismissed with the arrival of King
Otto. With the enactment of the
Greek Constitution of 1844, a new legislative body was created also with the name
Senate. ==Senators==
