What % of the house or senate does it take to expel a member?

History
1 answer:
Sholpan [36]3 years ago
6 0

Congress requires a two-thirds vote to remove a member of Congress, as stated in Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution. Congress members also have the right to investigate the actions of members when they may be questionable.

The Constitution allows Congress to create its own rules about disciplining and investigating members. This provision helps ensure that the other two branches of government stay out of Congress's internal affairs.

Since 1789, only 20 Congress members have been expelled. Many expulsions were during the Civil War and were related to supporting the Confederate forces. As of 2014, the most likely reason for expulsion is corruption.

How is a monarchy different from a theocracy?
Nesterboy [21]
A monarchy is a type of government ruled by a hereditary ruler, such as a king or queen. A theocracy, on the other hand, is a system where a small group of religious leaders rule in the name of a god. A monarch who claims the divine right of kings uses their religion to justify their position of power. (See image: Courtesy of tvtropes.org) A monarch can claim to rule by god's will, but doesn't have to be a religious leader.

Describe two economic problems hidden by the business boom of the 1920s
Triss [41]
One economic problem was that businesses were not as healthy. People started losing money because they had numerous investors and they couldn't find a way to pay them back because they couldn't earn as much as they received in investments which caused investors to lose money in reality which harmed the businesses.

Another is that the consumers were indebted more than it was normal. People were spending more and more money and they in reality didn't have this money earned so the debt started increasing dramatically and when they couldn't pay back the debts the bubble burst and an economic crisis was introduced.
