46.What is the political party of the President now?
46.現任總統屬于哪個政黨?
Answer: Republican (Party)
答案:共和黨
Explanation: Senators, representatives, and the president of the United States almost all have political affiliations (or membership in a political party), but not necessarily the same ones.
解釋:參議員、眾議員和美國總統大都有自己的政黨(或某個政黨的成員),但不一定都是相同的。
Sometimes most of the members of Congress have the same political affiliation that the president does.
有時大多數國會議員與總統的政黨相同。
When that happens, making laws is usually easy, because Congress and the president have the same beliefs about what the government should do.
當這種情況出現的時候,制定法律通常很容易,因為國會和總統在政府應該怎么做方面意見一致。
Congress makes laws and the president approves them.
國會制定法律,然后總統批準。
At other times, things don't work as smoothly (or easily).
也有時候,事情并不會那么順利(或容易)。
Congress has one political affiliation, but the president has another political affiliation.
國會屬于一個政黨,而總統卻屬于另一個政黨。
When that happens, it is more difficult to make laws, because Congress and the president do not agree on what the government should do.
當這種情況出現的時候,國會制定法律就更困難,因為國會和總統在政府應該怎么做方面意見向左。
Congress might pass a law, but when it goes to the president for approval, he or she may not sign it (or put his or her name on it to show that it is okay to make it a law).
國會可能會通過一項法律,但把它遞交給總統批準時,他或她可能不會簽署(或在它上面寫上名字來表明可以讓它成為法律)。
