Answer 1

1. The two parts of the federal government are the legislative branch (Congress) and the executive branch (President).

2. This is an example of checks and balances because both Congress and the President have separate powers and responsibilities outlined in the Constitution. In this case, Congress is exercising its power to investigate and potentially impeach the President, while the President has the power to carry out the duties of the executive branch. This system of checks and balances prevents any one branch of government from becoming too powerful and ensures that each branch can limit the power of the other branches.

Answer 3

1. The two parts of the federal government are Congress and the President.
2. This is an example of checks and balances because Congress can investigate and maybe remove the President, but the President still has the power to run the executive branch. This keeps each branch of government from getting too powerful and makes sure they can check each other's power.
