the roman senate gained power by making alot of girls pregnant in which they worship him for his 123 in dick.
During the period of the republic the senate was a very powerful body, but it never gained power. It was an advisory body, not a ruling body. During the period of rule by emperors the senate was reduced to a rubber stamp body for the policies of the emperors.
1st. it's not roman its Rome.2nd. there were 2 councils and the Senate would elect a dictator in do or die times. This is how Caesar gained power and started the roman empire from the roman republic.
First of all, the Roman senate did not strike down Caesar. There were 600 members of the senate but only a small group of perhaps 30 senators were in on the plot. The senate as a whole, was just as shocked and fearful as the common people. Augustus gained power by political maneuvering combined with the stability he brought to the government.
Over time The President has gained at the expences of the congress
Augustus' appeal to the senate was his military power. He won the last of the civil wars which brought down the Roman Republic, gained control of all the legions of the Roman army and became the sole ruler. The senate could not do anything against his military power and had to allow him to establish his absolute personal rule, to turn the senate into an instrument of his power and to pretend that the senate still mattered in the new political system he created. Augustus' appeal to the Roman people was his Propaganda use of the fact that he was the adoptive son of Julius Caesar. They saw him as the man who would uphold Caesar's legacy.

In the Early Roman Republic the patricians monopolized the sears of the senate. Then the rich plebeians fought for and gained access to the snatre
The Roman senate was composed of roughly 600 men. At the start of the republic they were all patricians, but after the plebeians gained rights, they too could become senators. If a person were elected to the office of quaestor, he was automatically a member of the senate. A tribune of the plebs also had a seat in the senate. Dictators and emperors could appoint men to the senate.
No Roman commander actually challenged Caesar for power. When Caesar started the civil war, the senate gave Pompey the command of the armies. Pompey was not actually out for power for himself, he was working for the senate. Although if victorious, he would have received more honors and another triumph, the power was still in the hands of the senate.
In the republic Rome was ruled by two annually elected consuls. The senate was an advisory body. Over time the power of the consuls was reduced and the senate came to control much of Roman politics.
