There are two houses of Congress, which are the House of Representatives and the Senate. Members of Congress are elected by the residents of each state to represent that state in Congress. Although each state has two senators, the number of representatives for a state is dependent on the state’s population. There are 100 senators and 435 elected members of the House of Representatives, as well as six delegates who do not vote that represent the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories. To pass a piece of legislation, both houses vote on a bill. If the bill passes both houses of Congress, it then goes to the president, who can sign it into law or veto it.      ]]> 2023-04-11 23:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/efwerner29/e09898u87o2g62ie/wish/2550779014 efwerner29 https://padlet.com/efwerner29/e09898u87o2g62ie/wish/2550779217 The role of the executive branch is to enforce the nation’s laws. The executive branch is led by the president, who is the commander in chief of the military and responsible for signing or vetoing laws presented to them by Congress. The executive branch also includes the vice president, who is the president of the Senate and will take over if the president cannot perform his duties, as well as the Cabinet, who are advisors to the president. The enforcement of laws in the executive branch is often performed by various federal agencies and departments.       ]]> 2023-04-11 23:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/efwerner29/e09898u87o2g62ie/wish/2550779217 efwerner29 https://padlet.com/efwerner29/e09898u87o2g62ie/wish/2550779343 The judicial branch deals with evaluating laws and determining if a law does not conform to the rules set by the Constitution. The Supreme Court is the highest court of the United States and consists of nine justices. For a case to be heard by the Supreme Court, it must work its way through the court system until it is appealed to the Supreme Court from a lower court. Members of the judicial branch are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.     ]]> 2023-04-11 23:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/efwerner29/e09898u87o2g62ie/wish/2550779343
