Answer:

Ali has that authority for the Shi' a

Explanation:

The division between Sunnis and Shi'as is the largest and oldest in the history of Islam.

Both Shi'as and Sunnis have good evidence to support their understanding of the succession. Sunnis argue that the Prophet chose Abu Bakr to lead the congregational prayers as he lay on his deathbed, thus suggesting that the Prophet was naming Abu Bakr as the next leader. The Shi'as' evidence is that Muhammad stood up in front of his Companions on the way back from his last Hajj, and proclaimed Ali the spiritual guide and master of all believers. Shi'a reports say he took Ali's hand and said that anyone who followed Muhammad should follow Ali.

Muslims who believe that Abu Bakr should have been the Prophet's successor have come to be known as Sunni Muslims. Those who believe Ali should have been the Prophet's successor are now known as Shi'a Muslims. It was only later that these terms came into use. Sunni means 'one who follows the Sunnah' (what the Prophet said, did, agreed to or condemned). Shi'a is a contraction of the phrase 'Shiat Ali', meaning 'partisans of Ali'.

What are the overall powers of the legislative branch?
taurus [48]

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.
