2. Look at the Image called Judicial Referees. What does the team called Legislative lions represent? How about the team called Executive Eagles?

Answer 1

"Legislative Lions" symbolize the U.S. Congress, wielding powers like spending, impeachment, and constitutional amendments. "Executive Eagles" signify the executive branch, exercising authority in pardoning, recommending officials, and vetoing bills, showcasing presidential influence and law enforcement.

The team called "Legislative Lions" represents the legislative branch of government, specifically the U.S. Congress, which is comprised of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Their powers include spending money, establishing new courts, initiating impeachment proceedings against officials, rejecting appointments, and introducing amendments to the Constitution.

On the other hand, the team called "Executive Eagles" represents the executive branch of government, headed by the President. Their powers include pardoning lawbreakers, calling special sessions of Congress, recommending officials for appointment, and vetoing bills passed by Congress. These powers emphasize the executive's authority in law enforcement, legislative influence, and appointment decisions.

Answer 2

1. The political cartoon best depicts America’s government concept, which is known as Separation of Powers and / or Checks & Balances. This means that there are multiple branches of government (3 in the U.S. system), and they all fulfill their respective, separate duties. Although they work on relatively different matters or at least do things differently, they may “check” on each other to ensure that the other branch(es) are doing what they’re supposed to do.

2. The Legislative Lions represent the legislative branch, also known as the U.S. Congress. The Congress consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate, and their job is primarily to make laws, consider confirming cabinet / government appointees (Only the Senate), declare war if necessary, provide money, approve treaties, impeach and remove an office holder if necessary, and other legislative duties.

The team called Executive Eagles represent the Executive Branch. The Executive Branch is known for the U.S. President. The President works in the Executive Branch, as does his Vice-President, cabinet and other federal government employees. The Executive Branch is run by the President, who’s job is to sign or veto (deny) any laws passed by Congress, sign treaties, enforce the laws passed by congress and signed by the President, represent the United States abroad, lead the U.S. Armed Forces, and overall, be the head leader of the USA, from a vision standpoint.

Hope this helps.
