The US government system puts regular folks in charge of picking their Washington representatives. The two-part Congress includes a fast-moving‚ often-chaotic House and its more laid-back partner: the Senate (which tends to take its sweet time with decisions)
In this power-sharing setup‚ the nations top-dog — The President — runs the show from the executive branch. Its not a simple job: they must pick smart-cookies for the Supreme Court bench and deal with whatever Congress sends their way. When a bill lands on the presidents desk‚ theyʼve got two choices; sign it or use that fancy veto-power
The whole check-and-balance thing kicks in when Congress makes laws: they can actually push back if The President says no. But heres the catch — theyll need extra votes to override that veto. Meanwhile Supreme Court picks need a thumbs-up from Congress before they can grab those lifetime seats: its like a job interview with the nations pickiest HR team
The system works like a three-way ping-pong match — Congress writes the rules‚ The President decides to play along (or not)‚ and the Supreme Court keeps everyone honest. Its messy sometimes but thats exactly how the founding-fathers planned it
