Congrss controls the Executive branch by issuing what?
Are these your choices?
orders to stop what it is doing.
a halt of funding for programs.
a legislative veto.
its authority to a different branch.
What is your answer?
A legislative veto? Unsure
Nope. Only the President has veto power.
What does your text say?
As I contiuned to read my text, I am still not 100% on my answer, but it talks a lot about programs and money. So, last reponse- would it be a halt of funding for programs?
Yes! You're right. :-) Congress controls the money -- so can control the Executive Branch by not giving it the money it wants.
Thank you very much.
You are very welcome.
It was legislative veto.
Good heavens! How old are your text materials?
The Supreme Court declared the legislative veto unconstitutional in 1983.

The Congress controls the Executive branch by issuing legislation, which includes passing bills, making laws, and providing oversight. Legislation is the primary way that Congress exercises its authority over the Executive branch.
To issue legislation, Congress goes through a process that involves both the House of Representatives and the Senate. A bill starts as a proposal, which can be introduced by any member of Congress. The bill then goes through committees, where it is examined, debated, and potentially amended. If the bill passes the committee stage, it moves on to the full chamber (either the House or the Senate) for further debate and voting. If the bill passes in one chamber, it is then sent to the other chamber for consideration. If both chambers approve the bill in identical form, it is sent to the President for approval or veto.
When a bill becomes law, it can have a significant impact on the Executive branch. It may establish new policies, allocate funding for government programs, or introduce limitations on the actions of the Executive branch. Congress also has the power to investigate and conduct oversight of the Executive branch to ensure that it is effectively and lawfully implementing the laws passed by Congress.
So, in summary, Congress controls the Executive branch by issuing legislation through the legislative process.
