2.15) ______ power to originate bills to raise revenue and levy taxes

Explanation:

For 2.6:

The diagram focuses on sharing war powers between the President and Congress, limiting presidential war declaration power and affirming congressional war powers. Option A is too broad (checks and balances cover all branches, not just war powers). Option B misframes it as general responsibilities, not the specific power-sharing mechanism. Option D is unrelated to war powers. The War Powers Resolution specifically governs this split of war authority.

For 2.7-2.15:

These are based on U.S. Constitutional provisions:

• 2.7: Congress (both chambers) controls Supreme Court size.
• 2.8: The House holds the sole power to impeach.
• 2.9: The Senate alone approves treaties.
• 2.10: The Senate has the sole power to try impeachments.
• 2.11: The House elects the president, Senate elects the vice president, when no electoral college majority exists; for the president specifically, it is the House.
• 2.12: Both chambers must vote to override a veto.
• 2.13: The Senate alone approves executive appointments.
• 2.14: Both chambers pass bills to make law.
• 2.15: The House alone originates revenue-raising bills.
