The USA

There are three branches of the US government: the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch.

The Head of the Executive Branch is the President. The President is head of the armed forces and can make treaties, propose Bills to the Congress and appoint the Cabinet. But the Congress can terminate the President's period of office if he does something wrong.

The Legislative Branch consists of the two houses of Congress: the Senate and the House of Representatives.

And finally there is the Judicial Branch. The Chief Justice is head of the Judicial Branch and there are also eight Associate Judges.

The Congress makes laws and the two houses (the Senate and the House of Representatives) must approve them. If the President doesn't agree with a law, he or she can send it back to the Congress. Also, the Supreme Court can do the same if the judges consider a law to be “unconstitutional”.

The USA electoral system

The President*

The people elect the President every four years. Each President can serve for a maximum of two periods of four years.

The Senate

The people elect Senators every six years, and there are one hundred of them (two for every state). There are also elections every two years for one third of the Senate.

The House of Representatives

The people elect the 435 Representatives every two years. The number of representatives for each town or city or region depends on the size of the population. There are two parties in the USA, the Republicans (right) and the Democrats (centre).
