Can u give me an example of " separation of power"?

Question

I don't need the preception of separation of power, I need an example, that is , like Lesgilative branch, it can perform an action individually.

Answer 1

The Legislative Branch makes and passes laws. In the Federal Goverment and most states this is the House and the Senate.

The Judicial Branch interprets the laws. In the Federal Goverment and most states this is the Supreme Court.

The Executive Branch, The President in the Federal Goverment , Governors in the States.

The House and Senate may pass a law that the President does not like. He can veto the law. To override the video requires 2/3 vote of both houses.

If The House and Senate pass a law, the President signs it, but the Supreme Court decides it is unconstitutional, they can strike down the law.

The President nominates Judges for the Supreme Court, the US Senate must approve the Judge nominated before he can serve.

This is a short overview. Hope that this helps.

Answer 2

Example Of Separation Of Powers

Answer 3

I'll give you a PRACTICAL explanation of "separation of powers."

Congressman William Jefferson of Louisiana is under serious investigation for public bribery. The FBI, which is part of the executive branch, could get a warrant for Mr. Jefferson's apartment, but could NOT get a warrant for his offices in the Capitol building - because there, he enjoys the shield of being a congressman working on legislation that is out of the realm of the Executive branch.

Some of the legal wrangling in that case includes motions to disallow (as evidence) the loose cash found in Mr. Jefferson's freezer (no, I'm NOT kidding - VERY cold cash!). So far, though, the separation of powers penumbra is not covering the stuff found in his apartment because it is hard to tie it to actions pursuant to his role in Congress.

If the evidence is shown to be related to a legitimate action as a congressman, then neither the executive branch nor the judicial branch can touch it. That is separation of powers.

Now, another example. Some time ago there was a bill to give the president what is called a line-item veto. That is, in budget bills, it would be possible for the president to strike out some items from a budge. However, the separation of powers in this case is due to a little constitutional clause that says only the Senate has the power to initiate and define spending bills. So a court case has prevented the President from getting the line item veto. That would give the President the power to build a budget, and the Constitution says otherwise. So that activity is on hold.

I'll offer one more example. Pres. Bush and the CIA have been refusing to offer evidence to a Senate investigating committee on a war-related incident. The Prez is claiming executive privilege based on separation of powers. There is a serious question here, and I don't know where it will go, but if the Prez is upheld here, he had better watch out for someone trying to impeach him on criminal grounds. That is the ONLY time that Congress has power over the Executive Branch.

Answer 4

The Legislative Branch propose a bill, the Executive Branch decide if the bill is worth implementing if so then the Judicial Branch Interprets the bill into a law. That's how Separation of Powers work no one Branch of government can single handily implement things.

Answer 6

*Your perception of "separation of powers", is slightly skewered. They do perform an action individually. But they must interact with at least one of the remaining two branches. Thats the reason it's called "checks and ballances."
Anything that has to do with House or Senate rules
or administrative policies pretaining to them they can do what ever.
The second that it comes out of that body it is subject to involving the President or the Supreme
Court.

Answer 7

For example, the President cannot declare war. Only congress can do that. The Supreme Court cannot pass laws but can determine what is and is not Constitutional.

Answer 8

the legislative branch proposes laws, the executive branch carries them out or can veto the laws, and the judicial branch can practice judicial review, that is, if it thinks the laws are unconstituional, it can strike them down. The legislative and executive branches have checks on the judicial branch because the justices are appointed by the pres and approved by the senate

Answer 9

All branches of government have a system of checks and balances that prevent one from having too much power. No branch can do anything idividually. They have to be agreed on by the other two branches.
