Does judicial review give the Judicial branch of the US government the power to veto legislation?

Answer 1

Answer

The judicial branch does not have the power to veto any legislation; however they can use judicial review to label properly challenged legislation unconstitutional. "Properly challenged" means someone who has been directly and significantly injured by the legislation files suit in court, and the case is eventually appealed to the Supreme Court. If a law is never challenged, the Supreme Court has no way to declare it unconstitutional.

A good way to remember this is a football game. The two teams represent the executive and legislative branches and as they are fighting to pass laws and veto laws the judicial branch (the referees) are making sure the players are following the rules.

Answer 2

No. The judicial branch does not have the power to veto legislation; only the President has veto power. The Judicial Branch can use judicial review to nullify unconstitutional laws. The law must be part of a case before the court; otherwise, they have no authority to review it.

Answer 3

No. Judicial review allows the Supreme Court to review laws passed by Congress to ensure they conform to the requirements of the US Constitution. Judicial review gives the Court the power to nullify or overturn unconstitutional laws.

Answer 4

No. The President is the only one who can veto a bill. The legislative branch comes up with the bill. If the president vetoes the bill, they can override the veto.

Answer 5

No, but it can saw a law is unfair or something along those lines. :)
