Brief Explanations
- The Preamble of the U.S. Constitution lists purposes like "establish justice". The U.S. has a system of checks - and - balances, so giving unlimited power to the president (which would violate separation of powers), allowing only one branch to make laws (legislative branch makes laws but there are checks), and eliminating state governments (federalism is part of the system) are incorrect.
- According to the U.S. Constitution, the term for a U.S. Senator is six years.
- After Congress passes a bill, the president has the power to sign it (making it law) or veto it. The Supreme Court may later review for constitutionality (but not immediately after passage), it doesn't automatically become law (president's action is needed), and state governors are not part of the immediate federal bill - passing - to - law process.
