judicial review
It gives congress the ability to remove the president for wrongdoing.
The President
The principle of the constitution that states that Congress can impeach a sitting President for unlawful behavior is known as the principle of checks and balances. This principle ensures that no individual, including the President, is above the law and can be held accountable for their actions. Impeachment is a constitutional mechanism that allows Congress to investigate and remove a President from office if they have committed "high crimes and misdemeanors."
Here are a few, I am sure there are more. Congress enacts the laws the president has to enforce. This means the president is limited to acts within the scope of power that Congress gives him unless the Constitution gives the president a power that cannot be regulated this way. Congress passes the law that adopts the federal budget. This means that the president can only do as much as the Congress will let him pay for. Congress can impeach a president and then turn him out of office for what the Constitution calls "high crimes and misdemeanors." This ensures that the President follows the laws like everyone else has to. There are many more examples.
The President can't declare war because in the Constitution that power is given to the Congress as part of the checks and balances system.No.No. It is Congress who can but hasn't since World War II and meekly approve Presidential "actions" of one sort or another and it is the President as the Commander in Chief who can send armies into "action".No it first congress has to pass the bill then it goes to the president to sigh. The President can ask congress to declare war, but he can't declare war congress only can.
The president's power to convene and dismiss Congress is limited primarily by the U.S. Constitution, which grants Congress the authority to set its own schedule and determine its own sessions. Article II, Section 3 allows the president to call special sessions of Congress, but this is rarely done. Additionally, the separation of powers principle ensures that Congress operates independently of the executive branch, reinforcing legislative autonomy. This limitation helps maintain a balance of power within the federal government.
ensures what??
The Constitution limits governmental powers and ensures that no particular branch has more power than the other...MoMMy.! :)
if a president is unable to fufil his duties, the vice president takes over the presidency the constitution ensures a smooth transition by designating a specific person for theis job
All Executive power of the United States of America is vasted in the President as well as the Vice President. The constitution did not create any government department but instead the first of them, the Department of State, was created by the First Congress. All Secretaries are the executive heads of their respective department, consultate the President, and are subject to confirmation by Congress. The executive (also known as administration) provides all government services to U.S. citizens and ensures that all acts enacted by Congress are properly carried out.
One way congress can limit the power of the president is by refusing or accepting who the president nominates for the Supreme Court. Congress can also veto a bill the president passes if they get a two thirds majority vote.
The members of the lower House of Congress serve only two- year terms and so its membership can change greatly in the middle of a president's four-year term. The Senators have six-year terms and these terms are staggered so that 1/3 of them stand for election every two years. Thus the Senate's composition can change during a President's term but not so quickly.
