The best example of checks and balances is that the president can veto any bill passed by Congress, but a two-thirds vote in Congress can override the veto.
Other examples include:
The House of Representatives has sole power of impeachment, but the Senate has all power to try any impeachment.
Any bills that intend to raise revenue must originate in the House of Representatives, but the Senate also has to approve the bill.
Congress has the power to set and collect any taxes or duties.
The president is commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army and Navy.
The president has the power to grant pardons and reprieves for crimes against the U.S. except in an impeachment.
The president can make treaties, but only with a two-thirds agreement from the Senate.
The House of Representatives and the Senate both have to pass the same bill before it can become a law.
The president can appoint Supreme Court judges, but the Senate must approve these choices.
Supreme Court judges have the power to declare presidential actions as unconstitutional.
The vice president is also automatically the president of the Senate.
Congress can amend the Constitution, which means they can override a Supreme Court decision
Answer:
Over time, voting rights have been expanding in a notorious and fair way. Thus, initially, only white men with high purchasing power of legal age could exercise their right to vote. Subsequently, the economic requirement was abolished, allowing all white men to exercise this right.
After the Civil War, the northern states of the country allowed African Americans the right to vote, while the southern states exercised segregation over them. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, women, through feminist movements, obtained the right to participate in elections. Finally, African Americans consolidated their right to vote after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed.
Answer:
Both the Senate and the House of Representatives are part of the United States Congress, that is, they are part of the federal legislative body of the nation. While the Senate represents the states equally, the House has a proportional representation to the populations of each American state.
Both congressional chambers have a leader, who represents the chamber at a general level, and belongs to the political party that has a majority in it: in the Senate, the Vice President (currently, Kamala Harris) is in turn president of the Senate, but as generally does not have participation, it is the President Pro Tempore who exercises the leadership of the chamber. For its part, in the House of Representatives, its leader is the Speaker, who also belongs to the majority.
In turn, the Speaker of the House is second in the line of presidential succession, after the Vice President, while the President Pro Tempore of the Senate occupies third place.
