And the finally precedent in this case is Article II of the U.S. Constitution because this is where it states that a single President responsible for the actions of the Executive Branch as a whole. 5) There is no “official” action that is being challenged. Paula Jones simply wants to be able to sue President Clinton without having to wait until the end of his term 6) At issue is weather or not the separation of powers or the need for confidentiality of high-level information can justify an unqualified Presidential immunity from a court of law. 7) For a separation of powers reason, is a serving President entitled to immunity from civil litigation that came from events that happened before he took office?

Procedural History: William Marbury and other justice of the peace nominees filed a suit to the Judiciary Act of 1792 directly with the Supreme Court of the United States seeking a writ of mandamus from the Court that would require Secretary of State James Madison to deliver their commissions as others signed by the President. Issue Presented: The legal issue is whether the Supreme Court is allowed to issue a writ of mandamus to Madison requiring him to deliver the Justice of peace commissions. Does Marbury have the right to his commission? Does the United States Supreme Courts have jurisdiction to issue writs of Mandamus, to public officials? Holding: Marbury isn’t required to a writ of mandamus because under congressional procedures it must be done within the term of the approved president.

A third disparity is that senators are elected to 6-year terms, while representatives are elected to serve 2-year terms. Every two years, the nation holds an election for members of Congress. At that time, all members of the House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate are up for re-election. By comparing the Senate and the House of Representatives we conclude that there are two major similarities between them. For e.g.
There are nine member of the Supreme Court including a chief justice, the number is fixed by congress and has remained unchanged since 1869. These members are appointed by the president and must be confirmed by the Senate. The members hold office for life 'during good behavior', but can also be impeached, tried and removed from office by Congress; otherwise justices leave the Court only by voluntary retirement or death. Article III of the Constitution deals with the judiciary power of the American system of government, it makes the US Supreme Court the nation’s highest judicial body. However, it says nothing of the political role of the court.
Article I of the Constitution addresses the legislative branch of our United States government. In addition it explains how the House of Representatives and the Senate shall be elected, the terms of their elections and it also grants the legislative branch the power of the purse. In section 8 of article I it states, “ To constitute Tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court;” which allows congress to determine all of the lower courts of our Federal and state governments. Article I has great detail as to how the legislative branch should be created, followed etc., yet it says nothing about the Supreme Court, the third branch of our government and this might be one of the ways our founders limited the three branches from intersecting one another.
