Which of the following is an executive check on the powers of the judicial branch of government?

1) enforces term limits for Supreme Court justices
2) presides over Senate during hearing to impeach the president
3) casts tie-breaking vote if the Supreme Court cannot reach a verdict
4) nominates Supreme Court justices and federal judges


Sagot :

Answer:

4). nominates Supreme Court justices and federal judges.

Explanation:

The 'nomination of judges of Supreme Court, as well as, the federal judges' demonstrates the inspection of the executive branch over the judicial branch. However, the judicial branch is given the freedom to 'transcribe or expound the laws of the state,' 'determining the constitutionality of the laws,' 'safeguarding the individual rights and punishing the violators,' etc. The executive branch keeps an overview of the appropriate functioning of the work by holding the authority of appointing the chief justices and federal judges. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.
