How does the power of the executive branch compare to the other branches?

This depends on ones interpretation.

Our government has set up a system of checks and balances, each branch can override another.

There are three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial.

The legislature enacts statutes, to become law, they must be signed by the president. The president doesn't have to sign a bill though, he can "veto" the bill. (veto means 'I Forbid' in Latin). If the president vetoes a bill, the legislature can override the veto and still enact the statute.

The judicial branch also has a check on the legislature. It can declare acts of congress unconstitutional.

Some people say that the executive branch has the most power, because the president has what President Teddy Roosevelt called, "The bully pulpit." He can talk to congressmen and Senators to try to influence them to pass laws that he likes. He can also issue what is called an executive order. An executive order is similar to a law. For example, President Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order that declared Japanese Americans to be enemies of the state, and ordered that Japanese Americans living on the west coast be rounded up and put in internment camps for most of WW2.

How much must I earn or pay out before a w-2 federal income tax form is required?

There is no lower limit. You pay from dollar one.

And just to clarify - the employer does NOT pay federal income tax on pay to an employee. He "withholds" income tax from the amount of pay he gives the employee (that is an estimate of what will be paid by the employee at tax filing according to the W-4 provided by the employee), and sends that to the IRS. Other than the cost of doing so, it costs the employer nothing.

In fact, the entire reported payroll for the employee is probably the most acceptable tax deduction for the employer that there is!

There may well be other payroll taxes or fee's - like FICA or unemployment, etc that he employer does pay out of his own funds.

How do you report an adult selling illegal prescription drugs?

Contact the police authority in the area where the crime is taking place. Then tell them the information they need to know (who, what, when where, and how you know this information to be true.

As for calling 911, only do this in case of an emergency. If you just have a tip to tell the police, do not call this.

What is the penalty for forgetting to file a federal tax return?

Each state sets its own penalties. They are different depending on the state.

But one thing that can be said with some certainty, the sooner you file the less the potential penalty. If you missed the deadline just get your taxes filed as soon as you possibly can. Even if you can't pay, get it filed, since usually there are separate penalties for not filing and not paying.

Don't worry about the penalties. Just file as if it were on time and if there is any penalty, they will send you a bill.

Does the US Supreme Court hear cases about issues that deal with the US Constitution and federal laws?

The answer to this question regrettably is not really amenable to a yes or no answer. In order to avoid confusion, the position is as follows : -

The constitution of any country is the grundnorm or the supreme law of the state. Accordingly, where there is any doubt as regards the law whether statute or case law, it is the duty of the courts to interpret the law in accordance with and in the light of the constitution. There cannot be any inconsistency between any law of the U.S. and the U.S. constitution and this extends right down to laws at the local level. Since there is a hierarchy of courts it follows that the lower courts will always take this into account in making decisions. Where however there is a dispute as to the correct interpretation of the law then the onus is on the supreme court to decide. It is the final arbiter. To that extent the Supreme Court can be said to have the final word. By the way the Supreme court is the highest Federal Court.

The procedure is the same in most countries and is consistent with the constitution of all federal states.

This is a broad answer but I hope it is of some help.

I agree. For the question asked, the answer is appropriate.

The specific issue must be able to be viewed under the federal scope of subject matter jurisdiction to establish it power to take jurisdiction and venue. Without any more specificity, it would be a waste of time to further elucidate a more appropriate answer.
