Answer 3

* The president and congress can. == == * The President can propose laws, but only Congress can make a law. A member of either the House or Senate may introduce a bill and it must be approved by both. If similar but different bills are passed by the House and Senate, a conference committee will attempt to reconcile the differences and then both will vote on the same thing. Before it can be a law it must also be approved by the President or, if he does not sign the bill, the House and Senate can vote on it again and if they both pass it by a 2/3 majority it becomes law. If the law is challenged, the courts can rule that it is unconstitutional and then it is no longer a law.

Answer 4

The legislative branch, the Congress, makes laws in the United States. However, the other two branches can make decrees with force of law. The Executive branch may issue executive orders per Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, in related to powers either pursuant to the executive duties or as decreed by Congress. The Judiciary may question the constitutionality of laws, and in certain cases may find a constitutional basis for rights not previously recognized (such as the right to privacy in Griswold v. Connecticut). All such decisions by the judiciary have force of law unless the Constitution is amended or the decision is overturned by a higher Court or by a new judicial decision (for example, Lawrence v. Texas had the explicit effect of overturning Bowers v. Hardwick).

Answer 5

The House of Representatives and the Senate makes the laws in the United States. First the members of the House of Representatives vote on the bill (law that hasn't been made yet). They have to get 2/3rds or more of the House of Representatives members' to get it to go to the Senate. If 2/3rds of the House of Representatives do vote on it then it goes to the Senate, and they also have to get a 2/3rds vote so it can go to the President. If it gets to the President, then the President can sign it so it can become a law. He can also veto it or he can put it in his pocket. If he vetoes it then it goes back to the chambers and they both have to get another 2/3rds vote on it. Now if they get another 2/3rds vote on it, then it automatically becomes a law (that rarely happens). If the president puts it in his pocket then it is called a pocket veto. Once that bill has been in his pocket for more than 10 days (Saturday & Sunday not included) it automatically becomes a law. If Congress holds a meeting in those 10 days then it doesn't become a law, it just stays a bill and the matter is dropped (they never talk about it again).
