Last week, several actions by former President Trump's administration caused debate and legal problems.
First, a court said a key appointment was not legal. President Trump had made his personal lawyer, Alina Habba, a top prosecutor in New Jersey. But the court said this broke the rules because the Senate did not agree to it.
At the same time, President Trump freed David Gentile from prison. Gentile was a finance man who cheated investors. He had only been in prison for two weeks. The administration said the case was wrong, but critics disagreed.
In foreign news, the US military attacked a ship suspected of carrying drugs. The Pentagon is now checking if this attack followed the rules.
Also, President Trump told Venezuela's leader, Nicolás Maduro, to resign. Maduro said no and asked for special protections instead.
These events show the administration often tested the limits of its power. But courts and other institutions pushed back.
