If the house is 1, the president is 2

2019-12-28 21:44:15 UTC  

They make up "Congress" the collective legislative body, but they have different functions

2019-12-28 21:44:27 UTC  

Yes, but they are parts as you are explaining

2019-12-28 21:44:32 UTC  

If the HOuse is the 1, the president is 0.05 or so

2019-12-28 21:44:41 UTC  

No

2019-12-28 21:44:42 UTC  

Congress is much more powerful than the Presidency

2019-12-28 21:44:51 UTC  

Not if each branch is equal

2019-12-28 21:45:05 UTC  

They aren't 'equal', they are divided

2019-12-28 21:45:13 UTC  

They have wildly different powers and responsbility

2019-12-28 21:45:55 UTC  

The functions of govenrment are split, not in an equal way, but in a way conductive to good government

2019-12-28 21:46:12 UTC  

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

2019-12-28 21:46:38 UTC  

The Constitution says exactly that. the PResident has to EXECUTE what Congress legislates

2019-12-28 21:46:59 UTC  

Like the president enforces the constitution, it never stated to USA Supreme courts opinion or Congress' or at all

2019-12-28 21:47:05 UTC  

The President essentially works for Congress, but has a few checks of his own, mainly the veto

2019-12-28 21:47:14 UTC  

The constitution overrides laws congress makes

2019-12-28 21:47:29 UTC  

Congress gets its power from the Constitution

2019-12-28 21:47:37 UTC  

Yeah, and they violate it

2019-12-28 21:47:45 UTC  

including subpoena power and impeachment for the house

2019-12-28 21:47:55 UTC  

The House is not in violation of the Constitution

2019-12-28 21:47:59 UTC  

Trump is

2019-12-28 21:48:17 UTC  

And another branch isn't required by it unless the third party one insists

2019-12-28 21:48:21 UTC  

The Senate might be if they take the oath prior to the trial and do not execute as the Constitution lays out

2019-12-28 21:48:29 UTC  

That is untrue

2019-12-28 21:48:35 UTC  

The House has the sole power of impeachment

2019-12-28 21:48:38 UTC  

It takes 2 to beat 1

2019-12-28 21:48:44 UTC  

That's not how it works

2019-12-28 21:48:54 UTC  

You don't get what I am saying

2019-12-28 21:48:55 UTC  

The powers are seperate

2019-12-28 21:49:01 UTC  

But equal

2019-12-28 21:49:10 UTC  

Simple civic lesson

2019-12-28 21:49:11 UTC  

They aren't even equal, they are different

2019-12-28 21:49:21 UTC  

You can't 'equate' dissimilar things

2019-12-28 21:49:25 UTC  

Equal in rights but different in duties

2019-12-28 21:49:32 UTC  

They aren't equal in rights or duties

2019-12-28 21:49:38 UTC  

Yes they are

2019-12-28 21:49:42 UTC  

They are not

2019-12-28 21:49:45 UTC  

Prove it

2019-12-28 21:49:56 UTC  

Read the Constitution, they have wildly different duties and powers

2019-12-28 21:50:08 UTC  

They are dissimilar, but clearly Congress is the most powerful

2019-12-28 21:50:13 UTC  

Doesn't mean they are not equal, remember the 14th amendment?

2019-12-28 21:50:22 UTC  

What about it?
