Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Separation of powers is a political doctrine originating in the writings of Montesquieu in The Spirit of the Laws where he urged for a constitutional government with three separate branches of government. Each of the three branches would have defined abilities to check the powers of the other branches. This idea was called separation of powers. This philosophy heavily influenced the writing of the United States Constitution, according to which the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of the United States government are kept distinct in order to prevent abuse of power. This United States form of separation of powers is associated with a system of checks and balances.

answer: separation of powers
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: During the Age of Enlightenment, philosophers such as John Locke advocated the principle in their writings, whereas others, such as Thomas Hobbes, strongly opposed it. Montesquieu was one of the foremost supporters of separating the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary.

Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Strict separation of powers did not operate in The United Kingdom, the political structure of which served in most instances[citation needed] as a model for the government created by the U.S. Constitution.[citation needed] Under the UK Westminster system, based on parliamentary sovereignty and responsible government, Parliament (consisting of the Sovereign (King-in-Parliament), House of Lords and House of Commons) was the supreme lawmaking authority. The executive branch acted in the name of the King ("His Majesty's Government"), as did the judiciary. The King's Ministers were in most cases members of one of the two Houses of Parliament, and the Government needed to sustain the support of a majority in the House of Commons. One minister, the Lord Chancellor, was at the same time the sole judge in the Court of Chancery and the presiding officer in the House of Lords. Therefore, it may be seen that the three branches of British government often violated the strict principle of separation of powers, even though there were many occasions when the different branches of the government disagreed with each other. Some U.S. states did not observe a strict separation of powers in the 18th century. In New Jersey, the Governor also functioned as a member of the state's highest court and as the presiding officer of one house of the New Jersey Legislature. The President of Delaware was a member of the Court of Appeals; the presiding officers of the two houses of the state legislature also served in the executive department as Vice Presidents. In both Delaware and Pennsylvania, members of the executive council served at the same time as judges. On the other hand, many southern states explicitly required separation of powers. Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia all kept the branches of government "separate and distinct."

Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Congress has the sole power to legislate for the United States. Under the nondelegation doctrine, Congress may not delegate its lawmaking responsibilities to any other agency. In this vein, the Supreme Court held in the 1998 case Clinton v. City of New York that Congress could not delegate a "line-item veto" to the President, by powers vested in the government by the Constitution.

Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Where Congress does not make great and sweeping delegations of its authority, the Supreme Court has been less stringent. One of the earliest cases involving the exact limits of non-delegation was Wayman v. Southard 23 U.S. (10 Wet.) 1, 42 (1825). Congress had delegated to the courts the power to prescribe judicial procedure; it was contended that Congress had thereby unconstitutionally clothed the judiciary with legislative powers. While Chief Justice John Marshall conceded that the determination of rules of procedure was a legislative function, he distinguished between "important" subjects and mere details. Marshall wrote that "a general provision may be made, and power given to those who are to act under such general provisions, to fill up the details."

question: What was one of the first times the Supreme Court tried a case regarding nondelegation? 

answer: Wayman v. Southard

Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Marshall's words and future court decisions gave Congress much latitude in delegating powers. It was not until the 1930s that the Supreme Court held a delegation of authority unconstitutional. In a case involving the creation of the National Recovery Administration called A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States, 295 U.S. 495 (1935), Congress could not authorize the president to formulate codes of "fair competition." It was held that Congress must set some standards governing the actions of executive officers. The Court, however, has deemed that phrases such as "just and reasonable," "public interest" and "public convenience" suffice.

question: When was the first time that a Congressional attempt at delegating lawmaking responsibility was found to be in violation of the Constitution? 

answer: the 1930s

question: The establishment of what body was the subject of A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States? 

answer: National Recovery Administration

answer: 1935

question: In what year did the supreme court determine that delegating powers by congress was unconstitutional? 

answer: 1935

question: What was the supreme court case that was determined that congress could not allow the President to determine fair competition? 

answer: Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Executive power is vested, with exceptions and qualifications, in the President. By law (Section 2.) the president becomes the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, Militia of several states when called into service, has power to make treaties and appointments to office "with the Advice and Consent of the Senate," receive Ambassadors and Public Ministers, and "take care that the laws be faithfully executed" (Section 3.) By using these words, the Constitution does not require the president to personally enforce the law; rather, officers subordinate to the president may perform such duties. The Constitution empowers the president to ensure the faithful execution of the laws made by Congress and approved by the President. Congress may itself terminate such appointments, by impeachment, and restrict the president. Bodies such as the War Claims Commission, the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Federal Trade Commission—all quasi-judicial—often have direct Congressional oversight.

question: Which branches of the national military does the U.S. president command? 

answer: Army and Navy

question: Whose approval is required for the president's appointees to take office? 

answer: Senate

question: What is a Congressional means of removing presidential appointees?

answer: impeachment

question: Who has over-sight of the Federal Trade Commission? 

answer: Congress
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Congress often writes legislation to restrain executive officials to the performance of their duties, as laid out by the laws Congress passes. In INS v. Chadha (1983), the Supreme Court decided (a) The prescription for legislative action in Art. I, § 1—requiring all legislative powers to be vested in a Congress consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives—and § 7—requiring every bill passed by the House and Senate, before becoming law, to be presented to the president, and, if he disapproves, to be repassed by two-thirds of the Senate and House—represents the Framers' decision that the legislative power of the Federal Government be exercised in accord with a single, finely wrought and exhaustively considered procedure. This procedure is an integral part of the constitutional design for the separation of powers. Further rulings clarified the case; even both Houses acting together cannot override Executive vetos without a 2⁄3 majority. Legislation may always prescribe regulations governing executive officers.

question: To what does congress attempt to limit executive officials? 

answer: the performance of their duties

question: What court case affirmed the mandates of the first and seventh sections of Article I of the Constitution? 

answer: INS v. Chadha

question: When was INS v Chadha tried before the Supreme Court? 

answer: 1983

question: By what margin can congress over ride a Presidential veto? 

answer: two-thirds
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Judicial power—the power to decide cases and controversies—is vested in the Supreme Court and inferior courts established by Congress. The judges must be appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate, hold office during good behavior and receive compensations that may not be diminished during their continuance in office. If a court's judges do not have such attributes, the court may not exercise the judicial power of the United States. Courts exercising the judicial power are called "constitutional courts."

question: In what branch is the ability to try legal cases placed? 

answer: Judicial

question: Who nominates justices for the U.S. Supreme Court? 

answer: president

question: Who must approve presidential appointees to the Supreme Court? 

answer: Senate

question: What is the term for judicial institutions exercising their power? 

answer: constitutional courts

question: What is the power given to the supreme court and lower courts called? 

answer: Judicial power

question: Who appoints a judge? 

answer: the president

question: Who gives the President advice and consent for a judge appointment? 

answer: the Senate
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Congress may establish "legislative courts," which do not take the form of judicial agencies or commissions, whose members do not have the same security of tenure or compensation as the constitutional court judges. Legislative courts may not exercise the judicial power of the United States. In Murray's Lessee v. Hoboken Land & Improvement Co. (1856), the Supreme Court held that a legislative court may not decide "a suit at the common law, or in equity, or admiralty," as such a suit is inherently judicial. Legislative courts may only adjudicate "public rights" questions (cases between the government and an individual and political determinations).

question: What kind of courts did congress establish? 

answer: legislative courts

question: What power are legislative courts not allowed to exercise? 

answer: judicial power of the United States
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: The president exercises a check over Congress through his power to veto bills, but Congress may override any veto (excluding the so-called "pocket veto") by a two-thirds majority in each house. When the two houses of Congress cannot agree on a date for adjournment, the president may settle the dispute. Either house or both houses may be called into emergency session by the president. The Vice President serves as president of the Senate, but he may only vote to break a tie.

question: Who can determine a date of adjournment if congress cannot agree? 

answer: President

question: Who can call congress into emergency session? 

answer: The president

question: Who serves as president of the Senate? 

answer: The Vice President
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: The president, as noted above, appoints judges with the Senate's advice and consent. He also has the power to issue pardons and reprieves. Such pardons are not subject to confirmation by either the House of Representatives or the Senate, or even to acceptance by the recipient.

question: Who has the power to issue a pardon? 

answer: The president

question: Who has the power to issue a reprieve?  

answer: The president
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: The president is the civilian Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States. He has the authority to command them to take appropriate military action in the event of a sudden crisis. However, only the Congress is explicitly granted the power to declare war per se, as well as to raise, fund and maintain the armed forces. Congress also has the duty and authority to prescribe the laws and regulations under which the armed forces operate, such as the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and requires that all Generals and Admirals appointed by the president be confirmed by a majority vote of the Senate before they can assume their office.

question: Who is the commander and chief of the Army? 

answer: The president

question: Who has the power to declare ware? 

answer: Congress

question: Who has the responsibility to confirm Generals and Admirals? 

answer: the Senate
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Courts check both the executive branch and the legislative branch through judicial review. This concept is not written into the Constitution, but was envisioned by many of the Constitution's Framers (for example, The Federalist Papers mention it). The Supreme Court established a precedent for judicial review in Marbury v. Madison. There were protests by some at this decision, born chiefly of political expediency, but political realities in the particular case paradoxically restrained opposing views from asserting themselves. For this reason, precedent alone established the principle that a court may strike down a law it deems unconstitutional.

question: Who is responsible for judicial review? 

answer: Courts

question: What is the court case that established judicial review? 

answer: Marbury v. Madison
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: A common misperception is that the Supreme Court is the only court that may determine constitutionality; the power is exercised even by the inferior courts. But only Supreme Court decisions are binding across the nation. Decisions of a Court of Appeals, for instance, are binding only in the circuit over which the court has jurisdiction.

question: Which courts decisions are binding across the entire United States? 

answer: the Supreme Court
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: The power to review the constitutionality of laws may be limited by Congress, which has the power to set the jurisdiction of the courts. The only constitutional limit on Congress' power to set the jurisdiction of the judiciary relates to the Supreme Court; the Supreme Court may exercise only appellate jurisdiction except in cases involving states and cases affecting foreign ambassadors, ministers or consuls.

question: Who can limit judicial review of a law? 

answer: Congress

question: Who's judicial power does congress have the right to limit? 

answer: the Supreme Court
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: The Chief Justice presides in the Senate during a president's impeachment trial. The rules of the Senate, however, generally do not grant much authority to the presiding officer. Thus, the Chief Justice's role in this regard is a limited one.

question: Who presides over an impeachment trial? 

answer: The Chief Justice
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: The Constitution does not explicitly indicate the pre-eminence of any particular branch of government. However, James Madison wrote in Federalist 51, regarding the ability of each branch to defend itself from actions by the others, that "it is not possible to give to each department an equal power of self-defense. In republican government, the legislative authority necessarily predominates."

question: Who wrote that the legislative branch was the predominate branch of government? 

answer: James Madison

question: In which Federalist paper did James Madison state that the legislative branch of government was predominate? 

answer: Federalist 51
Title: Separation_of_powers_under_the_United_States_Constitution
Context: Throughout America's history dominance of one of the three branches has essentially been a see-saw struggle between Congress and the president. Both have had periods of great power and weakness such as immediately after the Civil War when republicans had a majority in Congress and were able to pass major legislation and shoot down most of the president's vetoes. They also passed acts to essentially make the president subordinate to Congress, such as the Tenure of Office Act. Johnson's later impeachment also cost the presidency much political power. However the president has also exercised greater power largely during the 20th century. Both Roosevelts greatly expanded the powers of the president and wielded great power during their terms.

question: Immediately following the civil war which branch of government was seen to have the greater amount of power? 

answer: Congress
