In this book you will learn about the role of the president in the executive branch of government. He "oversees the major offices of the U.S. government" and is "commander-in-chief of the armed forces." You'll also learn about how he can make treaties, his ability to veto bills passed by congress and how is he "a symbol of the nation." You learn about the vice president, the cabinet and federal agencies such as the Secret Service. You'll read about the legislative branch, the role of Congress, its membership, its powers, its responsibilities, how bills become law and you'll learn about the judicial branch and our Supreme Court. Finally you'll learn about the similar set up of our state governments.
