    -Judicial appointment powers (Any SCOTUS nominee has to be voted on within six weeks, otherwise they are confirmed)
    -Budget powers (Annual budget submitted by the White House and then subject to an up/down vote within 14 days, otherwise it becomes law)
    -Treaty powers (Unilateral authority for the signing and ratification of treaties)

    • November 8, 1953 - Portuguese General Election:
    Screenshot 2023-04-04 3.21.45 AM.png
    PRIME MINISTERS OF PORTUGAL:
    Antonio de Oliveira Salazar (UN) - 1932-1953
    National Union Majority - 1932-1953
    Humberto Delgado (UF) - 1953-?
    United     Front Majority - 1953-?

    The Soviet Invasion of Hungary the previous year put a very anti-authoritarian feeling into the western populace. This reinvigorated the opposition in Portugal. The 'United Front' (a wide tent opposed to fascism and communism and not much else) submitted a full list to electoral authorities. President Richard Nixon, newly inaugurated following the death of President Robert Taft, took a much more internationalist approach. Following alleged bribes and favors the Estado Novo regime allowed semi-free elections, which were won by the opposition. Salazar resigned on November 25, leaving the country for Switzerland only a few days later.

    • November 10, 1953 - Philippine General Election:
    Screenshot 2023-04-04 3.46.05 AM.png
    PRESIDENTS OF THE PHILIPPINES:
    Elpidio Quirino (    LP) - 1948-1953
    Camilo Osias (NP) - 1953-?

    Fatigue had began to set in amongst Filipinos following seven years of Liberal rule. The main opposition, the Nacionalistas, nominated Senate President Camilo Osias against the incumbent President, Elpido Quirino. Following the securing of a $5 Billion investment package from the US, Quirino received a major boost. Ultimately, however, Osias emerged victorious.
