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.

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The feudal system is based on a sort of wealth hierarchy. The king gives land to nobles and in return they pay taxes. The nobles tax the peasants that move onto the land. The peasants are generally farmers, so they grow most, if not all their food. They sell the food to other peasants and nobles. The knights living on the land have an immediate duty to protect their kingdom is called on by the king, so they have less, or no taxes.
