    Our Government

    A system of checks and balances


    Our Government
    The Executive Branch
    includes the President, Vice
    President, Departments,
    and Agencies.
    The Legislative Branch
    includes the Senate and the
    House of Representatives.
    The Judicial Branch
    includes the Supreme
    Court.
    The Executive Branch
    The President is the leader of
    the country and the
    Commander-In-Chief of the
    military.
    The Vice President is the
    President of the Senate and
    becomes President if the
    President can no longer do his
    job.
    The Departments advise the
    President on issues and help
    carry out policies.
    The Independent Agencies
    carry out policies or provide
    special services to the people.
    The Legislative Branch
    The U.S. Congress is made up
    of two parts; the House of
    Representatives and the
    Senate.
    The primary duty of the
    Congress is to write, debate,
    and pass bills, which are then
    passed on to the President for
    approval.
    Other Powers of Congress
    include making laws about
    trade, taxes, money and war.
    The Judicial Branch
    The Judicial Branch includes
    the federal court system with
    the Supreme Court as the
    highest court.
    Once the Supreme Court
    makes a decision, it can only
    be changed by another
    Supreme Court decision or by
    amending the Constitution.
    The Supreme Court is made up
    of nine Justices appointed by
    the President and approved by
    the Senate.
