<p>can some1 just go over the basic powers of</p>
<p>executive</p>
<p>judicial</p>
<p>legislature</p>
<p>like who declares war, raises revnue, levys taxes, appoints judges, etc etc etc</p>
<p>plz help me me me</p>
<p>Don't know a lot but the basics:</p>
<p>executive: basically the P plus cabinet. Makes the decision</p>
<p>legislative: Senate + House. Oks the decision. </p>
<p>judicial: decides if constitutional or not...</p>
<p>These three are a balance of powers. </p>
<p>for war, I think that the P has to present it or something but that congress ratifies it.</p>
<p>as for revenue and tax same thing and for judges, P nominates a guy, but Congress(I think it's only the Senate though) nominates the guy....</p>
<p>I'm not really sure for the last few, sorry.</p>
<p>Like Jinxed said above, the president (executive branch) nominates the Supreme Court Justices. </p>
<p>However, before the US can go to war, the constitution requires congress to approve the President's (who btw is Commander in Chief) request. This is a result from the "War Powers Resolution" which forces the president to come before congress with a request for any type of military action. It is here where it must get approved. Before the War Powers Resolution passed, the president could technically send troops off to a war(which is unrecognized by congress), and not have congresses consent.</p>
