UNBIASED Politics (5/15/25): Part I: Everything You Need to Know About the LEGISLATIVE Branch of the U.S. Government

Get the facts, without the spin. UNBIASED offers a clear, impartial recap of US news, including politics, elections, legal news, and more. Hosted by lawyer Jordan Berman, each episode provides a recap of current political events plus breakdowns of complex concepts—like constitutional rights, recent Supreme Court rulings, and new legislation—in an easy-to-understand way. No personal opinions, just the facts you need to stay informed on the daily news that matters. If you miss how journalism used to be, you're in the right place. Lately, there’s been a lot of debate—and confusion—about the separation of powers, checks and balances, and whether certain branches are overstepping their authority. I created this three-part series to help cut through the noise and give you a clear, unbiased look at how each branch is supposed to function, what powers they actually hold, and how they’re meant to keep each other in check. In today's episode, we're diving into the legislative branch of the U.S. government. Intro (0:00) Foundational Elements of Congress (2:40) Congress' Powers; Checks and Balances (5:27) Congress' History and Evolution (12:15) How Bills Become Laws (31:23) How You Can Contact Your Lawmakers (41:20) Congressional Fun Facts (43:21) SUBSCRIBE TO JORDAN'S FREE NEWSLETTER.
