Sénard was named Attorney General of Rouen by the provisional government in March 1848.

He resigned this position and ran successfully for election on 23 April 1848 to represent Seine-Inférieure in the Constituent Assembly.

When disturbances broke out in Rouen he returned, having not yet been replaced as Attorney General, and was able to restore the peace.

Up to one hundred insurgents died, and several hundred were arrested.

Sénard returned to Paris and was appointed to the Labor committee.

Sénard was President of the Assembly from 5 to 29 June 1848, replacing Philippe Buchez, who was considered deposed after the disturbances in the Assembly of 15 May 1848.

He organized the support of the Assembly for General Louis-Eugène Cavaignac, and was appointed Minister of the Interior on 25 June 1848.

In this position he attempted to reorganize the administration.

His attempts to make Cavaignac the official candidate in the December 1848 presidential elections caused a cabinet crisis.

He resigned on 13 October 1848 and went into opposition when Louis Napoleon was elected President on 10 December 1848.
He was not reelected for the Legislative Assembly, and was enrolled in the bar of Paris.
