The strongest branch of government is the legislative branch. The Constitution separates the powers of the United States government into three divisions known as the executive, judicial, and legislative branches. The powers of each branch are constantly regulated through a system of checks and balances. The system ensures that no branch becomes stronger than the other. However, eighteen powers granted exclusively to Congress are listed in the Constitution. The Constitution grants Congress more power than any other branch, giving it an unfair advantage in the process of equalizing checks and balances. The legislative branch is stronger than its colleagues because it has the power to legislate, override executive vetoes, and impeach federal officials. Congress's power to create laws strengthens the legislative branch by giving Congress power over regulations that affect the structural relationships of the United States Government. the Judiciary Act of 1789 established the order of three types of federal courts within the judicial branch; where the highest court is the supreme court, then the circuit courts and the basic one is the district courts. The creation of the judicial act demonstrates the power of Congress over the structure of the federal courts of which the judicial branch is composed. Although the Constitution established the Supreme Court as the highest judicial court in the United States, Congress has the power to establish lower courts, as validated in the Judiciary Act of 1789, giving Congress great influence over how the judicial branch operates . the Civil Rights Act passed by Congress in 1964 prohibits segregation in public places and businesses and requires integration... middle of paper... and balances. Congress's power to make laws affects how and which laws are enforced by the executive branch and interpreted by the judicial branch. Through a ⅔ majority vote to pass a vetoed bill, Congress is able to carry out its regulatory effect regardless of disapproval resulting from the presidential veto. Congress is granted more power because the impeachment power gives Congress the opportunity to remove federal officials, including the president himself, from office by limiting the powers of federal officials under the threat of impeachment. Despite the system of checks and balances to distribute power equally among the three branches, the legislative branch is able to use the powers granted to it by the Constitution to effectively create regulation that influences the systemic structures of the United States government to work in its favor.
