The process of impeachment acts as a check and balance for the executive branch, or the President of the United States (POTUS). The Executive Branch is being checked by the other two branches, the Legislative Branch, or Congress, and the Judicial Branch, or the Supreme Court. The principle of checks and balances are important to ensure that 1) no government branch can become too powerful, and 2) to make sure that work is evenly distributed and that not one branch has to carry all the weight.

How each branch checks each other:

Legislative Branch Powers & Weakness:

The Legislative Branch can create and pass or deny bills.

The Legislative Branch can override the President's veto.

- The Legislative Branch's laws can be declared unconstitutional.

- They may not agree and may not be able to pass a bill.

- The president may veto their bill.

Executive Branch Powers & Weakness:

The Executive Branch can pass or veto bills.

The Executive Branch has Executive Powers, which can bypass Judicial & Legislative powers.

- The Executive Branch can be impeached by the Legislative Branch & Judicial Branch.

- The Executive Branch can be replaced by the people.

Judicial Branch Powers & Weakness:

The Judicial Branch can declare laws constitutional or unconstitutional.

The Judicial Branch is able to interpret the laws that are passed.

The Judicial Branch is life-long, and can only be replaced by death or impeachment.

- The Judicial Branch can only be selected by the President.

- The Judicial Branch does not have a voice until needed.

according to hess's theory, when the magma cooled, it would expand and push the tectonic plates apart. it would push the north and south america plates to the west and eurasia and africa ones to the east. the atlantic ocean would get wider but the coastlines of the masses would stay the same.

harry hammond hess was a geologist and a united states navy officer in the second world war. he is considered to be one of the founding fathers of the theory of plate tectonics. he is known for his theories on sea floor spreading, stating that the movement of the continents was the result of see floor spreading. the continents are attached to the plates and do not move separately. the plates themselves shift and change shape, carrying the continents along.
