THE
AMERICAN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
The
government system in the United States - federal, state, country, and local.
There
are, however, several basic principles, which are found at all levels of
American government. One of these is the “one person, one vote” principle which
says that legislators are elected from geographical districts directly by the
voters. Under this principle, all election districts must have about the same
number of residents.
The
House of Representatives controls spending and finance, so the Presi¬dent must
have its agreement for his proposals and programmes. He cannot declare war,
either, without the approval of Congress. In foreign affairs, he is also
strongly limited. Any treaty must first be approved by the Senate. If there is
no approval, there’s no treaty. The rule is “the President proposes, but
Congress disposes. “What President wants to do, therefore, is often a different
thing from what President is able to do”.
The President

READING FOR INFORMATION
Ex 8. Read the texts and mark
the new information.
The United States Government
The
Constitution of the United States is the central instrument of American
Government and the Supreme Law of the land. For 200 years, it has guided the
evolution of govern-mental institutions and has provided a basis for political
stability, individual freedom, economic growth and social progress. The
American Constitution is the world’s oldest written constitution in force, one
that has served as the model for a number of other constitutions around the
world. The Constitution owes its staying power to its simplicity and
flexibility.
The Legislative Branch
The legislative branch is
the only branch that can make federal laws, impose federal taxes, declare war
or put foreign treaties into effect. It consists of a Congress that is divided
into two groups called “Houses”.
• The
House of Representatives is made up of lawmakers who serve two- year terms.
• The
Senate is made up of lawmakers who serve six-year terms.
A
law begins as a proposal called a “Bill”. It is read, studied in
committees, commented on
and amended in the Senate or House Cham¬ber in which it was introduced. It is
then voted upon. If it passes, it is sent to the other House where a similar
procedure occurs. When both Houses of Congress pass a bill on which they agree,
it is sent to the President for his signature. When it is signed, the Bill
becomes a law.
The
executive branch: The
President
The Executive Office of the
President
The Vice President
The
chief executive of the United States is the President, who, together with the
Vice President, is elected to a four-year term. A President can be elected to
only two terms. The powers of the President are enormous, but not without
limitations. The President can propose laws to Congress or veto any bill passed
by Congress. This veto can be rejected by a two-thirds in both the Senate and
House of Representatives.The President can appoint federal justices but these
have to be approved by the Senate. Within the executive branch, the President
has broad powers to issue regulations and directives. The President is
Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.
The
President appoints the heads and senior officials of the executive branch
agencies.
The
President is responsible for foreign relations with other nations.
The
judicial branch The Supreme Court
The judicial branch is
headed by the Supreme Court. It consists of a Chief Justice and eight Associate
Justices. The Court’s most important function is to say if legislative or
executive branches act according to the Constitution.
The
main political parties
Today,
the United States has two major political parties. One is the Demo-cratic
Party, which its origin from Thomas Jefferson’s party, formed before 1800. The
other is the Republican Party, which was formed in the 1850s, mostly by people
in the states of the North and West who were against the expansion of slavery.
