Below are some of the powers of the legislative branch: Can impeach and remove the president, Creates lower federal courts, overrides presidential vetoes, and appropriates money. Which constitutional power of the legislative branch is missing from this list?
A) appoints federal judges
B) declares executive actions unconstitutional
C) grants pardons to federal offenders
D) ratifies treaties
Please help quickly... >.< Thanks!
Sorry didn't finish my answer LOL, but yes the correct answer is D, ratification.
'Two-thirds of both houses of Congress voted for proposal. Then three-fourths of the state legislatures voted to ratify, making the amendment part of the Constitution. Each state makes its own schedule. Therefore, a proposed amendment could wait months or years for ratification.' - Connexus Acad
Highlight, Congress votes for the proposal of the ratification.
Technically, none of those answers is correct.
The executive branch appoints federal judges, but they must be approved by the legislative branch.
The executive branch ratifies treaties, but they, too must be approved by the legislative branch.
Both B and C are wrong.
I just completed it and I was correct. It was D. Thank you for your help! Sadly, I don't have a book for this course... :'( But thanks again!!! :D
The legislative branch checks the power of the judicial branch by
appointing federal judges
dissolving federal courts
declaring judicial actions unconstitutional
impeaching and removing judges
i have no idea
Are you sure Ms. Sue? Because I thought that the Executive Branch appointed federal judges...
That is why I needed help with this question. It's like a 50/50 chance. I'ma go with D, Ratifies treaties. Thank you for your help though! :D
Be sure to check your book.
Yes, in fact, it is
Im not here to answer because they already did but its weird to think about the question was asked 8 years ago. The most recent reply was 2017 4 years ago. That person who asked the question could possibly have a family and or be married at the moment. Who knows if anyone will see this and if they do who knows if I will see their response. Later.
To find out which constitutional power of the legislative branch is missing from the list provided, we can refer to the United States Constitution.
Option A) The power to appoint federal judges is not a power of the legislative branch. This power is actually given to the executive branch, specifically the President of the United States.
Option B) The power to declare executive actions unconstitutional is not a power of the legislative branch. This power is held by the judicial branch, specifically the Supreme Court. They have the authority to interpret the Constitution and determine the constitutionality of executive actions.
Option C) The power to grant pardons to federal offenders is not a power of the legislative branch. This power is granted to the executive branch, specifically the President of the United States. The President has the authority to issue pardons or reduce the sentences of federal offenders.
Option D) The power to ratify treaties is indeed a power of the legislative branch. The Senate, which is a part of the legislative branch, has the power to ratify treaties negotiated by the executive branch. Ratification requires a two-thirds vote by the Senate.
Therefore, the missing power from the list is Option B) Declares executive actions unconstitutional. This power belongs to the judicial branch, not the legislative branch.
