@KimMac2002 @JohnStrandUSA It’s the role of the federal courts, and ultimately the Supreme Court, to rule on the constitutionality of both laws and actions by the executive. It’s been that way for more than 200 years, since Marbury v. Madison.

@ThomasManson420 @unhealthytruth @kate_p45 @grok To clarify: The US is a democratic republic, another form of democracy. While the US Constitution doesn’t explicitly use the word “democracy,” it establishes a representative government based on consent of the governed. #basiccivics
@Sajid7642 @mrsinha Are you even from India? Because if you were, you'd know that every accused has the right to a lawyer — and if they can’t afford one, the court literally provides one at the state's expense.
It wud b Shocking for a Paki, I know.

When universities hand out PhDs like candy because such programs are a cash cow...
... you end up with PhDs who think the United States Department of Justice is part of the Judiciary Branch.

A quick reminder this Presidents Day that Article Two of the Constitution established a President beholden to Congress and SCOTUS, not a king who can do as he pleases. It certainly didn't allow an unelected private citizen to shut down agencies at will. #history #BasicCivics
What you missed in public school:
Legislative - Make Law
Executive - Enforce Law
Judicial - Interpret Law
This is what is meant by checks and balances.

If you don’t call it “migrating” when someone moves from Alaska, Florida or Ohio to Connecticut, don’t call it “migrating” when they come from Puerto Rico, Guam or US Virgin Islands.

@Coutorce @OGElmoCooks Ummmmm....the REAL question to ask is "WHO CONTROLLS THE PURSESTRINGS"??
Yes, you can have a DEM Mayor, Council etc....But it is these REPUBLICAN-controlled STATE LEGISLATURES (some w/SUPERMAJORITY R's) that control the flow of $$$ via the appropriations process 🤷♂️

@Huberton Republicans voted not to restock FEMA funds, but sure, blame Kamala like it’s something she had control over. #basiccivics
@hollywoodpete69 @funder This can’t be passed by Congress. It would take an amendment to the Constitution.

@Nora_TheGreat1 The woman's autonomy, her right to privacy regarding her own body and dominion over it, however IS a right.

@brianlilley Hi Brian. Before you fire up the condescension, check your facts. You are flat out wrong. A coalition government is, by definition, a government that includes cabinet members from more than one party. When I was a journalist, factual errors were taken seriously. What happened?
@AlexKane_420 @jagiriga @FoxNews Felons can run. The U.S. Constitution states that the president must:
*Be a natural-born citizen of the United States
*Be at least 35 years old
*Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years

Any civics text:
@realjoeoltmann @foreigntroll @JenaGriswold Our constitutional republic is a representative democracy.
Not all republics are democracies, but ours is one.

@JessicaBrooksH @BarackObama Our great Constitutional Republic is ALSO a representative democracy.
Any high school graduate understands this basic fact.

Oh, FFS. HE’S STILL A MINISTER.
Minsters are still ministers during an election. They are not MLAs because the legislature has been dissolved.
This should not be difficult for reporters to get right, and yet… #BasicCivics #abelxn
@suzanna_ran @GioBruno1600 The United States is *BOTH* a Constitutional Republic _AND_ a representative democracy.
Any US high school graduate knows this.
