3 GOVERNMENT BRANCHES

The Executive Branch of the Government has the President, Vice President, and all the cabinet members. The President is allowed to pass or veto a bill that the legislature sends him. The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution states that no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.

Richard (Dick) B. Cheney is our Vice President of the United States.The Vice President duties: The Constitution only states that the Vice President should be prepared to take over the Presidency (if something happened to the President) and act as the President of the Senate.

There are 435 Representatives and 100 Senators all together there are 535 members of Congress. The Legislative branch, writes laws on a bill. So they can be sent to the senator then to the Representatives and finally to the President. Who can veto or sign it.

The process of creating a law starts with an idea. Ideas can come from different sources, a senator, a representative or any citizen of the United States. The process can be very complex and take a great deal of time.
The Judiciary explains and applies the laws. This branch does this by hearing and evenually making decisions on various legal cases. The Judicial Branch is in charge of the court system. There are three different kinds of courts found in the federal court system. The lowest level is the district courts. The 2nd level is the court of appeals. The top level is the Supreme Court.

ARE YOU TIRED OF THESE REPULICAN GAMES
THAN VOTE FOR OBAMA FOR CHANGE

The Presidential Campigne of 2008
The two canadates are Brack Obama and John McCain. Brack is the canidate for the demacrat party and John is the canidate for the Reprubllican party.
If I was able to vote I would vote for Obama. There are many different reanson why I would vote for him and not John. I will discuss the issues of: Education and why I think Obama is Better.
Obama's out look on education is to offer more help to high needing schools and educate teachers so they can serve in them. It is so true because there are schools that need help finacally and need teachers to teach.
John wants to keep the law’s emphasis on standards and achievement but focus on individual achievement rather than group averages.

I have other reasons why I like Brak better. For example I think it is time America needs a minority president. I am for the Demacratic party and I think that becasue of the Rebulican's our economy is going down the tubes because of Busch spending money on the war and not on the government. I belive Obama has much more to offer than Mccain and belive he will do anything for the economy.

Obama is for giving tax breaks to the poor and to smaller companies. McCain is with the bush tax break.
