The President might ask Congress to hold a special session to address an emergency situation.

A special session is a session outside the normal legislative session. The Constitution gives the President the power to convene both Houses or just one of them for a special meeting ( session ). This power is granted in Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution.

This power is applied to deal with urgent and unexpected situations, such as war, a terrorist attack, a natural disaster or during times of economic turmoil.

So far, U.S. Presidents exercised this right 28 times ( to recall both Chambers of Congress ), most recently by Harry Truman in 1948.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The following words are the correct answers to complete the sentence:

vigilant, zealous.

Since her house was broken into, Deidre has become especially vigilant about locking the doors when she leaves and particularly zealous in recruiting others to participate in the neighborhood watch program.

Explanation:

The adjectives vigilant and zealous are the correct words to complete the sentence. The adjective vigilant means to be attentive, to pay attention and be aware of a situation or a person in order to notice any problems or signs of danger in a quick way. Since her house was broken into, it makes sense for Deidre to be vigilant about locking the doors when she leaves the house. The other adjective, zealous, means to show a fervent partisanship for a cause, an ideal, or a person. After having her house broken into, Deidre has become zealous in recruiting others to participate in the neighborhood watch program.
