What was the political situation when president Obama declared his intention to increase his use of executive

History

Zina [86]3 years ago

Answer:

After being held up in the courts for more than a year, President Barack Obama’s signature immigration executive actions that proposed expanding his deferred action policies to allow individuals residing in the country illegally the opportunity to avoid deportation and obtain work permits and driver’s licenses were blocked from being implemented in a 4-4 ruling delivered by the United States Supreme Court on June 23, 2016.[1]

Without a ninth justice, due to the vacancy left on the court by former Justice Antonin Scalia's unexpected death, the Supreme Court was unable to rule on the case. The 4-4 split decision upheld the lower court's ruling, which blocked the new and expanded immigration policies from going into effect. President Obama blamed the court's inability to issue a ruling on Republican senators who have declined to hold a confirmation hearing on his Supreme Court nominee Judge Merrick Garland.[2]

What are the four factors that decide what committee a congressman will join
Zolol [24]
The first factor is is that if you're capable of conducting governmental investigation then you would join the Standing Committee. It is a type of a permanent committee that exists for the purpose of dealing with any of  the problems that need constant consideration. There are 16 such committees in  the United States

The second factor is based on your capabilities to study a particular governmental issue which is when you join the Select Committee. A select committee is formed when a new problem arises and these committees solve these problems and then stop existing. Their purpose is to examine a certain issue and investigate it.

The third is for those that have a connection between houses and can conduct business with them which is when they would join a Joint committee. Joint committees are formed from members of both houses of the congress and they commonly have very narrow jurisdiction and do not report legislation to the congress.

The fourth is for those who have connection between the house and the senate who then join a Conference Committee. Conference committees deal with solving issues regarding legislation. If the two houses of congress can't agree on legislation, a conference committee is formed to help them resolve the issue.
