    The document contains 10 incorrect headlines about the separation of powers between the branches of US government. The headlines would be corrected by assigning the proper constitutional powers to the appropriate branches, such as having Congress declare war or the House introduce tax increases. Key constitutional principles that would be summarized include Congress having the sole power to declare war, pass laws, and approve treaties; the President having the power to appoint judges, veto bills, and pardon criminals; and the Supreme Court having the exclusive power of judicial review.
