Is the senate legislative or judicial?

Answer 1

There are three branches or divisions of the U.S. government.

1. The executive branch, which is the office of the President (an executive)

2. The legislative branch which proposes, debates, then eventually agree upon new laws or changes in existing laws and then sends them to the President to either approve or reject (veto). If he agrees and signs the proposed law, called a bill until it is approved, it then becomes law. The legislative branch is made up of the Senate and the Congress (also called the House of Representatives). A bill can be introduced by either one, but must be approved by both before it can be forwarded to the President for his consideration.

3. The Judicial branch, judicial meaning having to do with judging or passing judgment, which is made up of the higher courts (including the Supreme Court), decides on whether an existing law has been interpreted and applied correctly by the lower courts.
