What are THREE ways the Legislative Branch check on the Executive branch?

History
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]2 years ago
6 0

The executive branch of government primarily includes the president and his cabinet. The legislative branch of government includes the Senate and the House of Representatives. Once a bill passes through the legislative branch, it has to pass through the president before it can become law. This is how the executive branch checks the power of the legislative branch. The president can veto and cancel any bill this way. The president’s veto can only be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate. This has only happened 106 times out of 1,484 regular presidential vetoes. If the president neither signs a bill into law nor vetoes it, the bill becomes law automatically after 10 days without a signature.

The executive branch can also call special sessions of Congress in times of emergency. The president rarely uses this power, however, and the last time was when President Harry Truman used it on July 15, 1948. This power is a check on the legislative branch because it forces Congress to meet and deal with issues when they are not convened and/or when they are potentially even avoiding convening.

Why did the founding fathers compromise on using a federal system for the new government
Rus_ich [418]
The Founding Fathers compromised on using a federal system for the new government because a federal system would create a system of power sharing between the national and state governments. There was great debate about state v. federal power in the writing of the constitution and the choice of a federal system was a compromise which sought to implement and protect the concerns of creating a tyrannical federal government but also one that could provide for the people with a strong national government.

what problems caused the government to create the interstate commerce comission and the sherman antitrust act? what were the lon
Slav-nsk [51]
I don't know too much about the commerce commission but the sherman antitrust act was created due to bad trusts abusing their powers of having national power over a certain product and therefore holding a monopoly and a sort of dictatorship in a certain field. The sherman antitrust act was the first time the government officially intervened with private businesses and laborers. Pretty much the trusts overworked workers and skyrocketed prices and people complained. I'm blanking on the word for when "the government doesn't interfere with private businesses" but the government finally interfered with this act.
