Question
Explain any two ways in which the U.S. Congress exercises control over the Executive branch.
Answer in Brief
Solution
The U.S. Congress may impose authority on the Executive branch in the following ways:
- The Senate has to approve any nominations the President makes. The majority vote of the participants who are present and voting determines the outcome in this case. The Senate must confirm any treaties that the President signs. In this case, the vote of two-thirds of the members in attendance determines the outcome. Legislation passed by the Congress may create any new executive department. It looks up information from any department. It can serve as a team of investigators to investigate an executive department's operations.
- The budget that the President has produced, which includes taxation, collection, and appropriations, is approved by the US Congress. It determines the amount of money that should be granted to each nation. The Congress must approve all of the President's projects that involve the use of money.
