Question

If the president breaks the law or fails to do his or her job, the House of Representatives can impeach the president. Which arrow on the diagram stands for this check on executive power?

Answer 1

In a diagram illustrating the checks and balances of the U.S. government, the arrow representing the House of Representatives' power to impeach the president typically points from the House of Representatives to the President. This indicates the House's authority to initiate the impeachment process if the president is believed to have broken the law or failed to fulfill presidential duties. If you can refer to the specific diagram you're working with, look for an arrow leading from the House of Representatives toward the executive branch or the president to identify this action.
