🏛️ Supreme Court

Who Has the Power and What Happened Today?

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States. It makes big decisions that affect the whole country. But many people wonder: Who can overrule the Supreme Court? What party controls it? And can the president remove the Chief Justice?

Let’s break it down in simple words.

⚖️ What Is the Supreme Court?

The Supreme Court is part of the judicial branch of the U.S. government. It has nine justices, including one Chief Justice. These judges decide if laws follow the Constitution. Their decisions are final in most cases.

📅 What Was Today’s Supreme Court Ruling?

Today, the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to continue roving patrols in California. These patrols stop people to ask about their immigration status. Some judges said this breaks the law, but the Supreme Court disagreed. This shows how powerful the Court is.

🧠 Who Can Overrule the Supreme Court?

It’s very hard to overrule the Supreme Court. Only two things can do it:

• A new ruling by the Supreme Court itself
• A change to the Constitution by Congress and the states

Even the President and Congress cannot directly change a Supreme Court decision. This is part of the separation of powers in the USA.

🗳️ What Party Controls the Supreme Court?

The Supreme Court is not supposed to follow any political party. But right now, most of the justices were picked by Republican presidents, so many people say it has a conservative majority. This can affect how they decide cases.

👨‍⚖️ Can the President Remove the Chief Justice?

No, the President cannot remove the Chief Justice or any justice. Justices serve for life unless they:

• Retire
• Resign
• Die
• Or get impeached by Congress

Impeachment is very rare. Only one Supreme Court justice has ever been impeached, and he was not removed.

🧩 Why Does This Matter?

The Supreme Court has a lot of power. It can decide on big issues like immigration, health care, and voting rights. That’s why people care about who is on the Court and how it works with the President and Congress.
