Who is the legislative branch?

Answer 1

In the United States of America there are three branches of government. The three branches depend on one another and are essential for the success of the government.

The three branches are: The Executive Branch (the President and his cabinet members); The Judicial Branch (the federal judiciary and the Supreme Court) and the Legislative Branch (the two houses of Congress, the House and the Senate.)

While the President in the executive branch can name federal judges throughout the country and can name members of the Supreme Court these appointments must be "confirmed" or approved by the United States Senate, which is part of the Legislative branch.

While Congress, in the legislative branch, can pass laws the courts (in the judicial branch) can review these laws against the Constitution and pass on whether they are or are not constitutional laws. (that is they are in the framework of the Constitution.)

The three branches of government provide what is called "checks and balances" that keeps everybody in line where no one branch of government will be all superior.
