Now listen to the text about the political system of the USA and say facts
about it there are in the information.
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 Monday.
Americans who are not yet 25 have no right to be elected to the House of
Representatives, and those who are under 30 cannot be elected to the Senate.
In the USA there two main political parties, the Democratic Party and the
Republican Party.
The President and his administration represent the executive branch of the
federal government. The Administration includes the Secretaries who are heads
of the executive departments. Each department is responsible for a specific area.

appointments.

system of checks and balances.
