  • Separation of Powers: Each branch has distinct powers from the others.

  • November of 2014, Obama announced his plan with DAPA to delay or dismiss the deportation of parents that were living illegally in the state 
  • Texas, along with 24 other states, disagreed with Obama's plan and felt like he was overstepping his executive power
  • Supreme Court verdict was split evenly between the justices
  • The final verdict was decided by the court just below the Supreme.

And Texas is suing the Obama Administration witch is part of the Executive Branch, so now that we know that it is between the federal and state governments it has to be connected to federalism. This helps prevent abuse of power because the state government is allowed to sue the federal government so the federal government cannot get unlimited power.]]> 2016-11-04 16:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmoro/9qj0hhfxbhsd/wish/135448721 seanmoro https://padlet.com/seanmoro/9qj0hhfxbhsd/wish/135450107 2016-11-04 17:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmoro/9qj0hhfxbhsd/wish/135450107 seanmoro https://padlet.com/seanmoro/9qj0hhfxbhsd/wish/135453523 2016-11-04 17:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmoro/9qj0hhfxbhsd/wish/135453523 seanmoro https://padlet.com/seanmoro/9qj0hhfxbhsd/wish/135453803 2016-11-04 17:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/seanmoro/9qj0hhfxbhsd/wish/135453803
