<u>Charges taken over if the US president is suspected of certain treasonous acts or other high crimes:</u>

Legislature can charge against a civil officer for crimes said to have been committed bribery, treason or other high crimes. It does not mean removal from office; it is only a statement of charges, similar to indictment in criminal law.

Two presidents, Bill Clinton, and Andrew Johnson were impeached, but the Senate voted not to convict any of them. After the Judiciary Committee approved 3 articles of impeachment Nixon resigned but before the House voted on them. Vice President takes over if a president is impeached.

In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the US or adhering to their Enemies, giving them comfort and aid. Conviction requires two witnesses or a confession in open court.

Impeachment is a 3 step procedure at the federal level. The following are the three steps,

Investigation by the Congress: Beginning in the House Judiciary Committee, but may begin elsewhere.

Voting by the House of Representatives: They have to pass, by a majority of those present and voting, the articles of impeachment, that constitute the formal allegations. Based on the passage, the defendant will be "impeached".

By the Senate: The Senate investigates the accused person. The Chief Justice of the US presides over the proceedings in the case of any impeachment of a president. The result of conviction is removal of the civil officer from office.

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Market share liability

Explanation:

To understand the doctrine of market share liability, it is important to first know the meaning of market share itself.

Market share refers to the percentage of the overall sales of a particular industry that is generated by a company. It calculated by dividing the total sales of the firm during a specified period by the aggregate sales of the industry during the same period. This gives an idea what the size of a company is compared with its competitors in the industry.

From the question, market share of BDC for that drug i Ohio is believed to be 40% when the mother of the plaintiff was taking it.

Market share liability is a legal doctrine unique to the law of the U.S. which gives an opportunity to a plaintiff who sustained an injury from a fungible product to establish a prima facie case against the product based on the market share of the manufacturers of that product, regardless of whether or not knows the actual producer of the product.

Therefore, the state of the plaintiff follows the doctrine of market share liability if he is able to collect $40,000 which from BDC out of the $100,000.

Note:

The $40,000 is obtained after applying 40% market share of BDC to the $100,000 total damages.

I wish you the best.

Is the Supreme Courts interpretation of the 14th Amendment and use of selective incorporation a
hram777 [196]

Answer and Explanation:

The 14th amendment cannot be a violation of the concept of federalism, as federalism is in accordance with the concepts covered in the Bill of Rights and only allows for the separation and sharing of powers between state and federal governments if this does not hurt the concepts covered by the Bill of Rights. These concepts are strengthened with the 14th amendment and for this reason, we should not consider that this amendment could harm the concept of federalism.

The ability of a state to create its own laws must be maintained even if people can move from one state to another, because this allows states to organize and maintain order in their territories, independent of their inhabitants. In this case, the individual who is moving from state to state must adapt to the laws of the territory, so that he/she can remain in the place.
