Are you sure Ms. Sue? Because I thought that the Executive Branch appointed federal judges...
Answered by Ms. Sue
Technically, none of those answers is correct.

The executive branch appoints federal judges, but they must be approved by the legislative branch.

The executive branch ratifies treaties, but they, too must be approved by the legislative branch.

Both B and C are wrong.

That is why I needed help with this question. It's like a 50/50 chance. I'ma go with D, Ratifies treaties. Thank you for your help though! :D

Yes, in fact, it is
Answered by Kaylee
Sorry didn't finish my answer LOL, but yes the correct answer is D, ratification.

'Two-thirds of both houses of Congress voted for proposal. Then three-fourths of the state legislatures voted to ratify, making the amendment part of the Constitution. Each state makes its own schedule. Therefore, a proposed amendment could wait months or years for ratification.' - Connexus Acad


Highlight, Congress votes for the proposal of the ratification.

appointing federal judges
dissolving federal courts
declaring judicial actions unconstitutional
impeaching and removing judges

Im not here to answer because they already did but its weird to think about the question was asked 8 years ago. The most recent reply was 2017 4 years ago. That person who asked the question could possibly have a family and or be married at the moment. Who knows if anyone will see this and if they do who knows if I will see their response. Later.
