The U.S National Government is a government that is divided up into three main branches. The judicial branch, executive, and legislative branch. Each branch is supposed to have an equal amount of power that is supposed to be shared among them. Even though at time it may not seem like it. The judicial branch is the branch in which the United States government is responsible for the administration of justice. Th legislative branch is the branch in which has power to legislate the United States. And the executive branch is the branch of government in which the United States government is responsible for carrying out the laws. These 3 branches carefully work together to try and make life much easier for citizens whenever trying to decide which laws should be passed and which of those shouldnt. Many important decisions are made and carried out with the three main branches of government. The U.S National Government has a very strcit process when it comes to changing a bill into a law. First in order for a bill to even be brought up many citizens must come up with the idea and bring it to the attention of  a member from congress to even be considered to be an idea. The president and his administration can also suggest an idea for a bill if they wanted to. Representatives need a copy of the bill and have to specifically place it into a bin where all the other new suggested bills are placed. After a bill is aproved to be a bill it is then reffered to the whole house in which they have to vote if they want the bill to pass or not. If the bill is passed it is then organized and published, all documents that are approved in the white house are marked in blue. After all amendments are offered and voted upon, and all Senators who wish to talk have had a chance to, the bill is put forth for a vote. Once a bill leaves the House and Senate the bill must be checked and revised to make sure it is almost perfect. The bill can't have any puncuation problems at all or else it is reconciled. If the bill is free of any mistakes, errors or mis interpretations then it is sent over straight to the president where even he can decide if the bill should be passed as a law. If the president agrees on it then it is past and the bill is turned into a law. If the bill does not pass though it is sent back in which the house has to vote on it again and if it is more than the needed amount of votes then the bill is passed regaurdless whether the president wanted to pass it as a law or not. Its quite complicated in all the steps a bill must go through in order for it to become a law.
Our National Government has many laws that the citizens and its leaders in power must accept to in order for our government to be functional. I think that the rules that are set forth are acceptable for example in order to become eligible to run for the President Of The United States you must be national born, 35 years old, and you must have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years. Some may think that these standards are to strict but, in fact they are set forth in order to make sure that random people from other countries don't try and attempt to run president and perhaps try and control the entire United States. Our national Government has 538 total Electors, which is decided by the number of Representatives plus the number of senators. In order to become a member of the senate one must be 30 years old, a citizen for 9 years, and live in the state in which you are hoping to get elected for. usually when it comes to presidents to get elected the most common advantages they might have is if they have name recognition, incubency advantage, trappings of the office and franking privellage.
