-
The person at the top of
the executive branch of government is the President.
-
One of the President's
jobs is to approve the laws that Congress creates.
-
If the President
agrees with the law, he signs it and the law goes into effect. If
the President does not like a bill, he can refuse to sign it. When
he does this, it is called a
veto.
-
If the President vetoes
a bill, it will most likely never become a law. Congress can
override a veto, but it takes two-thirds of the Members of Congress
who must vote against the President veto.
-
The President also
serves as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
-
The President appoints
the Cabinet and oversees the various agencies and departments of the
federal government.
-
In order for a person to
become President, he or she must be a natural-born citizen of the
United States, be at least 35 years of age, and have resided in the
United States for at least 14 years.
-
Once elected, the
President serves a term of four years and may be re-elected only
once.
