#** "an unusual need for unquestioning adherence to a political decision already made"; or
#** a "potentiality of embarrassment from multifarious pronouncements by various departments on one question.".<ref>''[http://supreme.justia.com/us/369/186/case.html Baker v. Carr]'', {{ussc|369|186|1962}}</ref>
#* Political questions include such issues as whether the nation is 'at war' with another country, or whether the [[U.S. Senate]] has properly "tried" an [[impeachment|impeached]] federal officer.
