If the two men in the cartoon represent congress, what is congress investigating? provide two specific examples from the image to support your response. discuss two additional ways that congress can check the power of the president.

The Political Cartoon is representing Congress by investigating President Richard Nixon famous controversies such as the Watergate Scandal where he intercepted the Democratic National Convention Headquarters in Washington D.C. by tapping the phones (recording device). All these footsteps lead to the White House because President Nixon was responsible for it, leading him to resign office on August 8th, 1974.

The cartoon represents Congress' investigation on President Richard Nixon and his connection to the apprehension and arrest of five burglars who had been caught wiretapping phones and stealing documents of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C.

Explanation:

Another case mentioned in the cartoon was the International Telephone and Telegraph scandal, which had basically the same type of factors and activities that comprised the large chain of wrongdoings. In this particular case, the administration had quietly dropped the antitrust investigations against ITT because the company had closed a secret deal with the administration to donate $400,000 to bankroll the San Diego convention.  

Additional ways the Congress may check the power of the President:

1. The Congress may override a regular presidential veto by a two-thirds vote of both houses.

2. Another function of the president is to nominate Supreme Court justices and appoint members to the Cabinet but the Senate also has the power to reject or approve those nominations. After the president nominates a justice or member of the Cabinet, they are reviewed by a Senatorial committee and a recommendation is issued and then the whole of the Senate will vote based on this recommendation whether to approve or reject the nominee.

giant impact theory - the moon was formed from the collision between earth and another mars-sized body.

colliding planetesimals hypothesis - the moon was formed from the same cloud of material as earth.

capture hypothesis - the moon was locked into orbit by earths gravity as it was passing by it.

accretion hypothesis - the moon was formed from collisions and combining of planetesimals.

i think this is right, if not and you know better let me know.
