Переведите нормально the government of united states is federal. the government shares its power with the states. the constitution written about two hundred years ago is the foundation of the government of the usa. the constitution divides power among the legislative, judicial and executive branches of the government. each branch is almost independent. the head of the executive branch is the president. the head of the legislative branch is the congress. the head of the judicial branch is the supreme court. the legislative division is responsible for making the laws of the country. the executive division carries out these laws. the congress is divided into two houses: the senate, or upper house, and the house of representatives. members of the senate are elected to six-year terms, but they are not all elected at the same time. members of the house of representatives are elected for two years. they are to finish their terms of office at the same time. the house of representatives has more than four times as many members at the senate. each state sends a different number of men according to the population of the state. a bill may be introduced in either the senate or the house of representatives. a bill approved by both the senate and the house of representatives is sent to the president (for him) to sign. the president and vice-president are elected for a four-year term. the president may be re-elected and serve eight years altogether, but no longer than that. (a famous president, franklin roosevelt, was elected four times, but since then the congress has passed a law making anything longer than two terms illegal). there are eleven cabinet officers. these men are appointed by the president with the approval of the senate. the cabinet takes care of such national business as defence, postal service, foreign relations, money and so on. (there are a few independent agencies which are responsible directly to the president).
