Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are a couple of things that can occur:

1)The bill would be struck down by votes in either the House of Representative (HR) or in the Senate (S).

- If the bill does not garner enough support or votes, the vote will die in the the corresponding house.

2) The bill will be veto and/or line veto by the President.

- The bill would be automatically vetoed, which would be returned to both houses to be passed if they get 2/3 votes in each congress. Line veto can be used when they pass the bill but WOULD NOT enforce PARTS of the law.

3) Law is declared Unconstitutional.

- The third branch of government, the Supreme Court, can void the law and declare the law unconstitutional.

4) Popular Opinion: On certain occasions, Citizens of the US can try Direct Democracy, in which if they gather enough signatures or supporters, they can force the government to reconsider their choice.

How could one of the major organization within the federal government most effectively prevent the presidents nominee from servi
Mashutka [201]

The correct answer is:

The Senate could prevent the President's nominee from serving as a federal judge, if they refuse to confirm the President's nominee.

Explanation:

Under Article II, of the United States Constitution; the President has the power to elect candidates for Supreme Court Judges, but it also states that the Senate shall advice and consent the President's decision.

Before the President can officially present his nominee, he has to follow certain steps that involve sessions in which the nominee should present and answer questions from the Senate's Judiciary Committee. The Committee acts as a Representative Committee for the whole Senate, and if they approve (three-fifths are required), they send their vote to the entire Senate, this confirmation allows the President to appoint the nominee for federal judge.
