IN 2005 Congress considered an
emergency spending bill that designated $81 billion for military spending and
Asian tsunami relief. It passed easily. A politician would have to be mighty
confident to vote against humanitarian aid and supporting the troops. But complaints have steadily grown about a law that came with the spending bill. The Real ID Act of 2005 established national standards for driving licences. By 2008, it said, every state would have to make sure its licences included "physical security features" and "a common machine readable technology". A state would be responsible for verifying that anyone applying for licences is in America legally. Only licences that met the new standards would be accepted by the federal government. An American who wanted to fly commercially, or do anything else for which he needed to identify A. financial support to the construction of international aid groups. B. an act that has brought to great disputes among different states. C. prohibitions of US citizens to take commercial flights. D. against humanitarian aid to countries that were attacked by the Asian tsunami. [简答题]emergency exit

The US Congress A. The US congress is the legislative branch of the federal government. It is a bicameral (两院制的) law-malting body of more than 500 members. Its two chambers are respectively called the House of Representatives and the Senate. The American two-house legislature, a product of the compromise between big states and small ones, embodies the American principle of balances and checks. All bills must carry both houses before becoming laws. B. The House of Representatives is the lower house of the bicameral Congress. The membership of the House is distributed among the states according to their different populations. Since 1910, the House has had a permanent membership of 435, with each Representative representing about half a million Americans. Under the principle that each state is guaranteed at least one representative, Nevada, a state with a small population, sends only one Representative to the House. Califor 我来回答: 提交
