6. President Bill Clinton

7. January 20, 2009

8. Benjamin Franklin

10.  You stumped me on this one.  I think of the three branches of government (Executive, Legislative, Judicial)  there is a mechanism for any of the three to overide any of the others in particular ways.

Answer 5

1.  Representative Democracy (or republic if you want to get technical).

2. True

3.  Compromise between large and small states for selecting the president.  538.

4. indictment

5.  Yes a judge can be impeached.  Federal judges can be impeached by Congress.  State legislatures can impeach state officials including judges (depending on the state).

8.  Ben Franklin

9.  As long as they are a U.S. citizen, born in the U.S., and 35 years of age or older.

10.  This question is a little ambiguous.  The obvioius answer is that congress can override a presidential veto with 2/3 vote in both houses.  Technically, the Supreme Court can override presidential decisions when litigation hits that realm.  The Supreme Court has the power to declare presidential and congressional acts unconstitutional.  Case in point: they have struck down many of the administrations policies concerning Gitmo.
