Question

The president can force Congress to meet during an emergency. Which arrow on the diagram stands for this check on legislative power?

Answer 1

In a diagram that illustrates the checks and balances between the branches of government, the action of the president forcing Congress to meet during an emergency would typically be represented by an arrow from the executive branch (the president) pointing to the legislative branch (Congress). This arrow signifies the president's power to call Congress back into session, representing a check on legislative power. If you have a specific diagram in front of you, look for an arrow from the executive branch to the legislative branch that aligns with this action.
