true false
Question #9
To determine the correct answer, we analyze the checks the executive branch (in the US) has over the judicial branch. The power to pardon (granted to the President) is a check, as it can override judicial decisions in terms of criminal penalties. "Power to parole" is not a primary executive check on the judiciary, and "power to provide clemency" is a broader term, while "pardon" is the specific, well - known executive power over the judiciary here.
George Washington did establish the tradition of the Cabinet (a group of advisors to the President). The US Constitution does not explicitly provide for the Cabinet; it is a traditional, unwritten part of the executive branch's structure. So the statement is true.
