The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in central North America, between Canada and Mexico. It consists of 46 states, a federal district, twelve self-governing territories, and several other island possessions. At 4.8 million square miles (12.4 million square kilometers), it is the world's second largest country by total area. With a population of over 383 million, it is the third most populous country in the world. The national capital is Washington, D.C., and the most populous city is New York City.

Government and Politics

The United States is a federal and constitutional republic, and a representative democracy. American citizens are subject to three levels of government in the federalist system, federal, state, and local (county, city, state, etc).

The government is regulated by a system of checks and balances, with three branches of government, the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

Legislative

The Legislative branch is made up of a bicameral Congress, made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives, makes federal law, declares war, approves treaties, has the power of the purse, and has the power of impeachment, by which it can remove sitting members of the government.

House of Representatives

The House of Representatives has 352 voting members and 106 non-voting members, each representing a congressional district of 750,000 for a two-year term. House seats are apportioned among the states and territories by population. Each state and territory then draws single-member districts to conform with the census apportionment carried out every ten years. The District of Columbia and the twelve major territories, as stated in the 22nd Amendment, each have members in the House based on population and census apportionment, although they cannot vote. Each state and territory is guaranteed at least one Representative, regardless of having reached the 750,000 mark.

The House chooses a speaker every new congress (two years) who leads and directs the House. Each party chooses a leader, who either serves as the House majority or minority leader. The current leaders are:

  • Speaker of the House: Meghan Quimby (R)
  • House Majority Leader: Arthur McDonald (R)
  • House Minority Leader: Steny Hoyer (D)

Senate

The Senate has 92 members with each state having two senators, elected at-large to six-year terms; one-third of Senate seats are up for election every two years. The District of Columbia and the nine major U.S. territories do not have senators.

The Senate is administered by the vice president, who casts a vote in the event of a tie. Each party chooses a leader, who either serves as the Senate majority or minority leader. The longest-serving senator is elected as president pro-tempore of the Senate, who is placed as third in the presidential line of succession. The current leaders are:

Executive

The Executive branch is made up of the President and cabinet. The president is the commander-in-chief of the military, can veto legislative bills before they become law (subject to congressional override), and appoints the members of the Cabinet (subject to Senate approval) and other officers, who administer and enforce federal laws and policies.

Present and Vice President

Both the president and vice president serve a four-year term and may be elected any number of times. The president and vice president are not elected by direct vote, but rather by an indirect electoral college system in which the determining votes are apportioned to the states and the District of Columbia based on Representatives in the House and Senators.
