Review Formal Amendment Process 4 methods Federal Nature of the Process 27 Amendments First 10 is the Bill of Rights Looked at Later Amendments

Other Methods of Change (page 79) 1. The passage of basic legislation by Congress 2. Actions taken by the President 3. Key decisions of the Supreme Court 4. The activities of Political parties 5. Custom

Basic Legislation (page 79) Congress has filled out gaps in the Constitution. Judiciary Act of 1789: all of the federal courts, except the Supreme Court, have been set up by acts of Congress 25th Amendments deals with President – Vice President succession

Executive Action (page 80) Only Congress can Declare War Executive Agreement is a pact made by the President directly with the head of a foreign state Treaty: is a formal agreement between two or more sovereign states. Difference: Treaties have to be approved by the Senate. Executive agreements do not, but are still legally binding.

Court Decisions (page 80) Marbury v. Madison (1803) established the Supreme Courts power of Judicial Review

Party Practices (page 81) Nothing in the Constitution or Law establish the right of parties to nominate a Presidential Candidate. Parties have converted the Electoral College from the group that makes the formal selection of the Nations President to a “rubber stamp” for each State’s popular vote.

Custom (page 81) Cabinet: 15 executive departments. It is an advisory body to the President. Senatorial Courtesy: The Senate will only approve a presidential appointee who is acceptable to the Senator or Senators of the President’s party from the State involved. Example: a federal judge or a U.S. Marshal. Unwritten law. No third term 22nd Amendment
