The judicial branch
Can raise taxes
Can veto laws passed by congress
Can confirm federal officials ***
Can declare a law unconstitutional
No. If confirmation is required, the nomination goes to the Senate. The judicial branch interprets the constitution. Read the responsibilities of the Senate (Article I) and the Judiciary (Article III).
Can veto laws passed by congress
Two guesses =-- and you're out. Neither of your answers is correct. And you ignored Reed's advice!!
Reed is it Can veto laws passed by congress. This is the last question!!! Finlay for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, not really. In a way, yes. The president may veto a bill passed by Congress (and the Congress may override the veto and enact the law anyway). The judiciary may effectively nullify a law by declaring it or part of the law in question in violation of the constitution, but that's not veto power per se.
And if you are finished for the day, I can go wash my dishes! Frankly, I'd rather help you, but those dishes need doing. Be well, jeje.
Google Marbury vs Madison
hen is it Can declare a law unconstitutional
YES !!!!!
The statements you provided pertain to the powers and roles of the judicial branch of the United States government. Let me explain each statement and the correct answer:
1. "Can raise taxes": This statement is incorrect. The power to raise taxes lies with the legislative branch, specifically with Congress. The Constitution grants Congress the authority to impose and collect taxes.
2. "Can veto laws passed by Congress": This statement is partially incorrect. The power to veto laws rests with the executive branch, specifically with the President. After Congress passes a bill, it is sent to the President for either approval or veto. If the President vetoes a bill, it can still become law if both houses of Congress vote to override the veto by a two-thirds majority.
3. "Can confirm federal officials": This statement is correct. The judicial branch, specifically the Senate, plays a role in confirming or approving certain federal officials appointed by the President. For example, the Senate confirms nominees for federal judgeships, including Supreme Court justices, as well as other executive branch positions and ambassadors.
4. "Can declare a law unconstitutional": This statement is correct. The power of judicial review allows the judicial branch, specifically the Supreme Court, to declare laws and government actions unconstitutional. If the Court determines that a law violates the Constitution, it can strike down or nullify the law.
To summarize, while the judicial branch does not have the power to raise taxes or veto laws, it does play a role in confirming federal officials and has the power to declare laws unconstitutional through the process of judicial review.
