In an article I found today there was something that had to do with Congress and passing a bill. They have already passed this but they need President Obama to sign it for it to go through. It was passed by the Democrats and Obama is a Democrat. This would allow for a 30 billion dollar plan for small firms. This will help people with small businesses get loans and be able to start more shops or do what they want to with the money they need. This bill would give 10 billion to encourage small business lending then 12 million for both small and large buisnesses.

I think this has to do with equal power because this shows that the House can make laws but thye still need to go through the president who needs to sign off on it to be passed. If he does not then it goes back to the house where it will then need a 66% vote to be passed then and be signed no matter what by the President. It shows equal power because they need to have it passed then get it passed by the President.
