What are the overall powers of the legislative branch?

History

taurus [48]3 years ago

The main power of the legislative branch is their ability to make laws. If bills pass  the House of Representatives and the Senate, all they need is a signature from the president so that it will be a legitimate law.

As far as debating bills in the different branches of the legislature, there are a few differences between the two. For example in the House of Representatives, there isn't anything such as an unlimited debate. The time used to debate a bill is limited. As for the Senate, members can in a way lay back and relax and stall and spend all the time in the world debating about a bill. The longest running debate was 48 hours long! This my friend is called a filibuster.

A difference in special powers between the House and Senate is their heavy affect on impeachment on high government officials(Such as the President of U.S.), they have the ability to push and throw out impeachment charges. However, it is the Senate that will hear the case and decide on whether the person will be removed from office or not.

The phrase Advice and Consents means that Under the Constitution, presidential nominations different posts take effect only when confirmed by the Senate. As well as with international treaties. The Senate must confirm it for it to become effective.

Answer:

The rise of the Roman and Chinese empires were arduous and lengthy processes that took at least four centuries. In the eighth century BCE, the geopolitics of eastern Asia was similar to that of the eastern Mediterranean, which was populated by hundreds of tiny Greek city-states. Five years after the Greeks gathered for their first Olympic Game in 776 BCE, the host of centuries-old city-sized feudal states in China received a new company, Qin, the future empire builder. Eighteen years after the investiture of Qin, tradition had it that Rome was founded on the hills beside the River Tiber. The legend’s veracity is much questioned, but it was around this time that the Greek and Phoenician colonizers brought the model of city-state to the western Mediterranean and founded Carthage, Rome’s future arch enemy. The foundation of the Republic in 509 BCE was undoubtedly a turning point in Rome’s history. It too, found itself among a host of city-states in Italy.
