Vote Yes
I think the Legislative Branch is effective because it is the most important branch in the government. Some of the important jobs that this branch does is make and pass laws, impeach people who do wrong things and gives the people of the USA a voice. It is basically the most powerful branch and without it laws wouldn’t exist.
The House of Representatives with 435 members have the soul power to start the impeachment process. If the reps think a US official is not right for our country they have a chance to vote and get rid of the official. This also prevents Presidents and other officials from getting away with misconducts, treason and bribery. The house of representatives is also an important part of the Legislative branch, because it is where originated. First being put in the hopper, and then read by a clerk. The clerk then gives it a title and number, the speaker of the house assigns it to a committee and it is sent to the senate. Without this long process we may not have laws and are country would be hectic.
The Senate with 100 members also takes part in the impeachment process. They become the jury and come up with a verdict upon the official being tried. So they also help with the decisions on who is right for our country. The Senate can also use filibusters to block or delay legislation if they think they would lose the vote. The Senator then has all the reins of the vote and bill thus changing and stopping the Senate for as long as they keep talking.
Interest groups benefit the people by giving them a voice on what they believe in. it is also legal in the constitution. There are private and public interest groups but both stand up for what they think is right. Interest groups are allowed to make posters and have propaganda to express their beliefs.
The Legislative Branch is and effective branch that we need in our Government. If we had a vote on to keep the legislative branch vote yes because without it a lot
