The job of the legislative branch is to create, debate, and enact laws. It is responsible for crafting laws, approving the federal budget, declaring war, and confirming presidential appointments and treaties. In the U.S., the legislative branch, known as Congress, consists of two houses: the House of Representatives and the Senate, which work together to pass legislation and check the powers of the other branches of government. It also serves as a forum for discussion and oversees the executive branch's actions through hearings and investigations.
