Why do you have presidents?
Someone has to run the nation. The president is the person of the people. Without the president, who is going to think through all of the bills passed by congress? No one. Without the president, the country would be in turmoil because without a leader, the people are nothing.
Who is the only president to have gone through the entire impeachment process?
Andrew Johnson our 17th President also went though impeachment process but got cleared by one vote of the Senate. This happened twice, with Andrew Johnson and again with Bill Clinton. In both cases the Senate failed to convict, so the presidents remained in office until their terms expired.
What was the branch that declared war?
Congress votes on going to war, so the Answer is "Legislative".
Who is going to be your next president?
Sean Olivas
How can a legislative branch exert power over the other two branches?
It makes laws! Some powers it holds over the other branches are: As to the executive branch, it may impeach, convict and remover the president; it may override a presidential veto and it has the power of the purse to fund or not fund programs the president wants to put into place. As to the judicial branch the Senate must confirm nominations of people to be judges, it fixes the number of judges and justices in the courts; it fixes rules of procedure within the courts; it may impeach judges in the same way it may impeach a president. It also fixes the salaries of everyone in all branches although it may not reduce the salary of the president or most judges and all justices while they are serving.
