Why is Congress rarely called into Special Sessions today? Who has the power to call a Special Session?

1 answer:

4 0

In Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, it states that the president has the power to call a Special Session. The reason why he rarely has to call a Special Session is because of the changes made by the 20th Amendment. Prior to the ratification of the 20th Amendment, Congress convened in December and typically adjourned in March. But after the ratification, Congress convenes on January 3 and typically does not adjourn until late in the year. So, the president rarely has to call Congress into session because Congress isn't generally out of session long.

Answer:

An 18 year old dating 26 is really not accepted in our society because there is huge age gap between the tthem. I think there is more disadvantages than advantages. Both of them will have different prospective of looking at things. One will think in the mature way and the other will be thinking in its childish way. So their point of view may not match which leads to disputes and the relation cannot last.

yarga [219]

The right answer is the increase of agricultural output, the Ming dinasty ruled China for almost 300 years (1368-1644) and enjoyed stability and prosperity, reforming the government and making more efficient use of the land, one of the things that made this increase possible was taxes, what excludes the third option. As for the first option, Ming government persecuted to some extent Christian and Muslims communities, and for the fourth, Tokugawa was a dinastic government in Japan, not China.
