Research Paper On Legislative Branch Law Making

By reading chapter 8 “The Legislative Branch”, I learned the structure of the Texas Legislature, the organization and duties of the Texas House of Representatives, and the Texas Senate and its influences on legislators.

I love whenever President Trump says something about Mexicans in any of his speeches. Taken from “Fear and Latino Stereotypes on the Campaign Trail” on Media Education Foundation, one such amazing quote is from Trump’s presidential announcement speech, in which he states that Mexico is “sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems [to] us. They’re bringing drugs, They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” I feel like I fall short of these views Trump has on Mexicans, but also as a Mexican American in general. Apparently, the correct way to view any Mexican man is to go by the fact that we are criminals.

Did you know that Obama has had to use the veto stamp fewer times than any other president since Garfield? (Ingraham) This statement might seem unrealistic, but many presidents have chosen not to use the veto stamp and if so only a few times! A veto is when the president rejects a bill from becoming a law. There are many steps leading up to the presidential veto it first starts out with the legislative branch who decides if the bill is good enough to be sent to the president. The president is a part of the executive branch and decides if the bill should be vetoed or not. Presidential veto relates to checks and balances in many ways, but the main way is that when the president vetoes it, the Legislative branch has the chance to make the bill a law! This is rare though because they have to give

The infamous presidential veto power is an example of a“reactive” (Carey, 2) power gifted to the president. When—and if— Congress finally agree and pass a piece of legislation through their retrospective chambers, the president has the power to veto it and render it invalid. The constitution outlines this power in Article I, Section 8. The use of the presidential veto is the most significant authority to prevent legislation from passing. On the other hand, Congress has the opportunity to overturn a presidential veto.

All of the branches of government are limited and checked by each other. The legislative branch is checked by the executive branch. The executive branch will sign into law what is agreed upon in the legislative branch. They continuously have to agree upon the decisions or they will not be passed unless they meet in the middle about the decision. A bill from the legislative

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”

The legislative branch will be made up of two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives. It makes laws, the laws are documented and talked about and polled on. The Senate consists of 100 senators. The VP leads the senate. 435 representatives make up the house. The speaker of the house leads the house. Both parties of the senate and the house select leaders. The party leader is also called the majority leader, the other one is the minority leader. The President is the head of the executive branch, which makes laws official. The President is chosen and is president for 4 years. He looks over laws made by the legislature. He chooses or kicks out cabinet members. He talks about treaties, and is head of the US and the US army. How does the legislative branch regulate other branches?. With checks and balances, all branches can regulate the others. Because of checks and balances, none of the branches become more powerful than another. Each branch “checks” the other branches to regulate the power and make sure it is balanced. Here is how checks and balances works. First, the legislature creates and polls on a law. The law goes to the executive, the President ponders and chooses wether or not he thinks it is good for the US. If yes, he agrees, and it is set. If the legislature does not agree with the judicial branches interpretation of the law, they provide a new legislation, and they do it again. The Speaker is a very elite member. He is the presiding officer of

Mr. Trump always argues that the outside world is bringing harm to the U.S. and that America should no longer be involved with foreign countries, like Mexico. But what he does not understand is that, by cutting these connections, he is dooming America, both economically and socially. My full argument about this that I and my two classmates wrote in class is: Trump’s misleading, falsely based data, leading to America’s economic failure. This you might disagree with; however, we should not hold hands with someone that will lead us, no ensure

“Si fuera Presidente de los estados unidos, construiría un gran muro a lo largo de la frontera mexicana y no dejaría entrar a nadie”( Mustain 2016 ). If you don't speak spanish and are wondering what this quote means , let me tell you all about it. This quote is saying, “ If I were President of the United States, I'd build a great wall along the Mexican border and not let anybody in.”( Mustain 2016). Whether you agree with it or not, a lot of people think that Mexicans are very hot. But what will happen to our country if we let all the Mexicans in . A lot of our restaurants would be shut down because their food is so scrumptious ,and all of our limes and Corona prices will go up due to them buying it all.

and the House of Representative. The responsibilities of the legislative branch are to make laws. The legislative branch checks both executive, and judicial branch. The legislative can check on the executive by overriding the president's veto. For example the first congressional override occurred on

Anyone can draft a Bill, Only members of congress can introduce legislation. On the basis of the first draft, consultations take place with other ministries concerned. Once everything is completed and the legislative bill is considered ready, the ministry in charge puts the draft into a proper stator form. The final draft of the legislative bill has now been prepared. After it has been prepared a senator introduces the bill, which is sent to a committee. Same procedure as in the house. If the committee majority votes for the bill, it goes to the whole senate. Majority floor leader decides when the whole senate will consider the bill. The bill is debated and amendments may be added. If a majority votes in favor the bill. Its returned to the

The power of congress had gone over several things. I thought the major ones were, the expressed powers of money and commerce, the implied powers, and the non legislative powers.The expressed powers of money and commerce is talking about the purpose of having taxes and the limits on the power of them. The implied powers tells us about the war powers and other expressed powers. The last is the Non Legislative powers tell us about the impeachment of the president . The three main points i'll talk about will be the purpose of our taxes, other expressed powers, and impeachment.

The lawmaking process in the U.S. Congress is rigorous and unexpected, but is vital to our representative government. The Legislative Branch controls the lawmaking process. All legislative powers are give to Congress which is bifurcated into two houses: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Every year about 10,000 bills, or proposed laws, are introduced and only ten percent of them end up becoming laws. The process that a bill must take in order to become a law is can take from two weeks to two years.

Anyone may draft a bill, which means an ordinary citizen can actually write a bill. Only members of Congress, however, can introduce legislation, and any of the congresspersons become sponsors. A bill can have anywhere from one sponsor to an entire party support. There are four general types of legislation; bills, joint resolutions (resolutions between both chambers but requires signing), concurrent resolutions (a joint resolution that does not require signing), and simple resolutions. The legislative process begins when a bill or resolution is numbered, (H.R. signifies a House bill and S. a Senate bill), referred to a committee, and printed by the Government Printing Office.

The bill is currently in the Senate being reviewed by the Senators. Based on the past outcomes of immigration related bills it is likely that Kate’s Law will get rejected and thrown out because not many Senators agree as strongly as President Trump does with the bill. Recently the outcome of Garcia Zarate, the man who killed Kate Steinle, was released, stating that he was not guilty (Philips). This outcome brought out anger in many Americans because the man had killed an innocent women had not been punished and also he had been deported multiple times before. The outcome of this court case will have an effect on the voting results in the Senate. The process for passing Kate’s Law will be lengthy and hopefully a decision will be made soon regarding the controversial issue at hand.
