The process is started by the President nominating a replacement to the vacant seat on the supreme court. A Supreme Court nomination is regarded as one of the most important decisions made in a Presidency. This is because the supreme court is referred to as “the echo-chamber” of previous Presidents, given justices are appointed for life. Because of this, Presidents will appoint justices with similar jurisprudence, their specific ideological views on the law, an example of this would be the appointment of Antonin Scalia, a strict-constructionist, by Ronald Reagan in 1986. Scalia is currently seen as the most conservative on the court.
For example the conservative government introduced ‘the bedroom tax’ if this was David Cameron’s idea he has the power to ensure that his party vote for this law even if they disagree. In this essay I will evaluate evidence on how much the PM dominates the political system in the UK and conclude by giving my opinion on to what extent he controls the political system. The PM is head of the executive and seen as the most important figure of UK politics, with this comes powers and responsibility’s that arguably makes him the most powerful man in the country. The ability to hand pick your cabinet is a key factor on how much the PM controls the political system of, being able to choose who does what job in the country means the PM holds the careers and more importantly the livelihoods of the ministers in his hand because he has the ability to hire and fire ministers. For example after defeat in the vote on action in Syria David Cameron decided it was a time for a reshuffle of his government because 10 members of the Government are recorded as not having voted.
American President and the British Prime Minister The American and British governments are two of the most powerful in the world, and have been for multiple centuries. America is the most powerful nation in the world with the best military, followed by Britain’s. Britain is a small island, in comparison, that has seen attempted takeovers for the last 1000 years to no avail. There are some similarities in the two but the United States government is very hard to imitate because it is so strangely organized, it is one of a kind systematically. The U.S. President and the British Prime Minister are both very powerful with respect to their government, but there are fundamental systematic differences that are important to understand.
After its final pass through both houses, the bill is sent to the president. If he approves, he signs it, and the bill becomes a law. If he disapproves, he vetoes the bill by refusing to sign it and sending it back to the house of origin with his reasons for the veto. The objections are read and debated, and a roll-call vote is taken. If the bill receives less than a two-thirds vote, it is defeated and goes no further.
An enquiry is firstly taken in the House and then if leads to a majority vote then they are trialled before the Senate. If they then vote over a two-thirds majority then the President will be removed from office. The first President to be impeached was Andrew Johnson in 1868 after the civil war. Richard Nixon was set to be impeached, however he resigned from office before he could be removed. Bill Clinton was also impeached.
Whilst there are operating guidelines within which the president must follow, mainly the joint co-ordination and approval of Congress, to construct and enact (Hastedt, p169, 2009) these policies, going to war being the most significant, there are a number of tactics to overcome constitutional restraint. These tactics legally permit the same course of action as heavily censored bills and acts of government but with only the president’s authority necessary for implementation. Executive Agreements carry the weight of a Senate-approved treaty but require only presidential approval. The president can bypass the need for Senate approval and its subsequent influence on policy by appointing Informal Ambassadors to negotiate the same Senatorial tasks. A president can instigate or participate in an Undeclared War by citing the need for humanitarian action.
This means the President can reject a law. But, the Legislative Branch can also check the president. They can do this to limit his power of rejecting too many laws. Their way of doing this is to override the Executive’s veto. They do this with a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress.
One way in which the Legislative branch is more powerful than the Executive branch is through its ability to override a presidential veto. A veto is part of the system of checks and balances and gives the President the authority to reject a proposed bill within 10 days of its approval. If vetoed, the bill will then be sent back to Congress who is capable of overriding the President’s veto and then signing the bill into law. This is seldom done since it requires a two-thirds vote of Congress in order for the bill to be overridden (“The Legislative Branch”). Even though it does not happen often, it is possible.

This meant that the House of Lords could no longer veto money bills and could only delay public bills for up to two years. The House of Lords initially tried to reject this bill. The reigning monarch, George V threatened to create sufficient Liberal peers to overcome the present Conservative majority if the bill was not passed however. The House of Lords scared of losing their Conservative
