The political system of the USA

The United States of America is a presidential republic consisting of fifty states, each of which has its own government. The present constitution was proclaimed in 1787 in Philadelphia. So, the President is the head of state. But the President is elected directly by the people and he is not a member of the American parliament, Congress. The President is elected for four years.

Congress, the legislative branch of the federal government, is made up of the Senate and the Houses of Representative.

There are 100 senators, two for each state. The House has 435 members, the number of representative from each state depends on its population. Congress makes laws and each house of congress can introduce a new project. Each can vote against the project passed by the other. If both houses agree the project becomes law. The senators are elected to serve for a period of 6 years.

Election day is always in the month of November, on the first Tuesday after the first
