The 3 branches of government are not equal. Congress makes the laws, sometimes overriding a veto. The Senate confirms most appointments. Congress can impeach and remove anyone in the other 2 branches. Congress decides who gets taxed and for how much. It decides how money is spent.

My ELCA congregation went 3 years without a pastor. We had Presbyterian, UMC, and Episcopal clergy lead some of our services until we called a UCC pastor. It was great having all of them and great that they could do it.

in effect. It seems to have simply been working off of some keywords without putting them into the context of the question. AI is for lazy people and people who don't know how to find the correct information sources.

Google's AI answered the question outlining the requirements in the repealed law. I told the AI that the requirements it cited have been repealed. It responded by pointing me to some entries on the Oklahoma Department of Insurance web site that did not confirm that the requirements are still

My colleague didn't accept that so he asked Google. Google provided a link to a website that referred to a statute with the requirement we were discussing. Now the statute citation I was able to look up the law and saw that it had been repealed.
