No, they are parts
The House is the House. THe Senate is the senate. THey are different
It's not 1/2 + 1/2 equals a whole
Yes, but they are part of congress [the whole].
If the house is 1, the president is 2
They make up "Congress" the collective legislative body, but they have different functions
Yes, but they are parts as you are explaining
If the HOuse is the 1, the president is 0.05 or so
No
Congress is much more powerful than the Presidency
Not if each branch is equal
They aren't 'equal', they are divided
They have wildly different powers and responsbility
The functions of govenrment are split, not in an equal way, but in a way conductive to good government
Ah, but they are equal but just with different responsibilities. It doesn't mean the others have to enforce what one does due to the writings of the constitution
The Constitution says exactly that. the PResident has to EXECUTE what Congress legislates
Like the president enforces the constitution, it never stated to USA Supreme courts opinion or Congress' or at all
The President essentially works for Congress, but has a few checks of his own, mainly the veto
The constitution overrides laws congress makes
Congress gets its power from the Constitution
including subpoena power and impeachment for the house
The House is not in violation of the Constitution
Trump is
And another branch isn't required by it unless the third party one insists
The Senate might be if they take the oath prior to the trial and do not execute as the Constitution lays out
That is untrue
The House has the sole power of impeachment
It takes 2 to beat 1
That's not how it works
You don't get what I am saying
The powers are seperate
But equal
Simple civic lesson
They aren't even equal, they are different
You can't 'equate' dissimilar things
Equal in rights but different in duties
They aren't equal in rights or duties
Yes they are
They are not
Prove it
