Lesson Six: The Executive Branch

The
Executive Branch of the United States government enforces
federal law. It also puts new
laws into effect.
The
President, Vice-President, cabinet and the departments make up the
executive branch. The cabinet is a special group that advises the
President. The cabinet consists of all the head leaders of each
department.
The
President is the leader of the Executive Branch. The President is
also the commander-in-chief of the military. He or she cannot serve
more than two four-year terms. The president is elected
in November. The President is elected by the Electoral
College. The President is inaugurated
in January.
The
President’s official home is the White House in Washington
D.C.
The
Constitution names three requirements of the President. The president
must be born a United States Citizen, be at least 35 years old and
have lived in the United States at least 14 years.
If
the President should die or leave office, the Vice-President automatically
becomes president. If both the President and the Vice President
die or leave office, the Speaker of the House
becomes President.
