Keeping the Legislative Branch In Check...
1. The Executive Branch is in charge of what part of the law making process. 2. From there, the Judicial Branch decides if a law is Constitutional. What does this mean? |
Is the Executive Really in Charge?
1. If the President negotiates a treaty with a European country, which branch has the power to approve it? 2. Let's say the President nominates (appoints) a new Supreme Court Justice. How can the Legislative Branch keep the President in line? 3. The President is still a pretty big deal... What role does he play in the military? |
Who is Judging Who?
1. Describe one way the Executive Branch has power over the Judicial Branch. 2. If the President were to nominate a Federal Judge with a shady background... What could the Legislative Branch do about it? |
