Supreme Court Hears Presidential Reference on Governor's Powers

Supreme Court Hears Presidential Reference on Governor's Powers

The President asked the Supreme Court for advice on how long Governors can take to approve laws passed by states.

This is because the Supreme Court had already told the President to approve laws within a certain time.

The President can ask the Supreme Court for help on important legal questions, but the court's advice doesn't have to be followed.

This is a special power given by the constitution.

The court will listen to both sides and give their opinion.

This helps the President act on legal and constitutional matters.

Sometimes, the court doesn't give an answer if the matter is already being dealt with in another court.
