20 of 20 Cough of false modesty

 

You know, a couple of those are somewhat deceptive, though. Two, in particular:

 

14. Who selects the Supreme Court justices?

 

While the President selects them, the Senate has a "confirmation" process. What's tricky is that some folks think that without Senate confirmation, the applicant can't be named. Not true - the Senate's role is advisory in that case.

 

18. Who has the power to declare war?

 

Recent events would seem to indicate the President - but it's the Senate. If you'll recall, prior to invading Iraq there had to be a Senate vote. That's what's interesting. Bush declared "Mission Accomplished" years ago. There is a good argument that statement is sufficient for the Senate to vote the war ended. If they did, there would have to be a withdrawal and a shut down of funding.
