Answer:
a. The party control of government when Congress passed legislation in 2014 to repeal the ACA was when Republicans gained majority seats in both chambers of Congress. This Republican control of Congress was the catalyst for the repeal of the ACA in 2014.
b. The Republican representative who cast a vote in favor of the ACA bill in 2009 followed strictly his constituency mandate.
c. When President Obama vetoed the ACA repeal, the Republicans could proceed to court to try to use the judicial branch of government to implement their legislative goals by requesting for constitutional interpretation of the repealed bill.
If this had happened, it would have seriously hampered the implementation and success of the Affordable Care Act for partisan reasons.
Explanation:
a) Congress is the legislative arm of government that makes the law. The executive implements the law. The judiciary is in charge of the interpretation and application the law to real situations. But when the President vetoes a bill, Congress can override the veto by ensuring that 2/3 of both chambers pass the law. Alternatively, Congress can ask for a judicial interpretation.
