Congressional Approval

Congressional approval refers to the process by which members of the U.S. Congress authorize or endorse government actions, proposed laws, budgets, or international agreements. It serves as a check on the executive branch, ensuring that the legislative body agrees with or supports specific initiatives. Approval is often required through formal voting, such as passing bills or treaties. This process reflects the democratic principle that elected representatives must concur on major decisions affecting the nation, balancing power between different branches of government and maintaining accountability to the people.
