| abstract | - The American Federation is the world's oldest surviving federation. The government is regulated by an system called check and balances defined in the US Constitution, which serves as the country's supreme legal document. Citizens are usually subject to three levels of government: federal, state, and local; the local government duties are commonly split between municipal governments. The federal government is comprised of three branches:
* Executive: The president is the commander-in-chief of the military, can veto legislative bills before they become a law, and appoints the members of cabinet.
* Legislative: The bicameral Congress, made up of the Senate and House or Representatives, makes federal laws, declares war, approves treaties, and appoints the members of cabinet and other officers.
* Judicial: The Supreme Court and lower federal courts. whose judges are appointed by the president with senate approval, interprets laws and overturn those they find unconstitutional. The House of Representatives has 235 voting members, each representing an congressional district for a two-year term. House seats are apportioned among states by population every tenth year. The Senate has 62 members with each state having two senators, elected at-large to six-year terms; one third of Senate seats are up for election every other year. The president serves an four-year term and may be elected to office no more than twice. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice of the United States, has nine members, who serve for life.
