What is considered to be the fourth branch of power? Why?
Many people outside the USA think that the US President is very powerful. Do you agree with them?

Подробный ответ

The judicial branch is represented by the Supreme Court.
The system of checks and balances works like this: the President can suggest bills, but Congress must approve them; the Supreme Court can declare laws unconstitutional; Congress can pass laws, control the budget, and even impeach the President. So each branch limits the power of the other two.
No, not any bill suggested by the President can become law. It becomes law only if Congress approves it.
We say that the US judicial branch is more powerful than in some other countries because the Supreme Court can check the other branches of power and influence their decisions.
Americans say, “The President proposes, but Congress disposes,” because the President can only suggest ideas and bills, while Congress decides whether they will be accepted and turned into law.
Yes, it does. It adds to democracy because it prevents one branch from getting too much power and protects people from extremes and abuse of power.
The fourth branch of power is often considered to be the mass media, because it influences public opinion and helps control the government.
No, I do not fully agree. The President is powerful, but his power is limited by Congress and the Supreme Court.
