The Big Cheese (Executive)
In 2025, the 47th President (Donald Trump) is the brain of the operation. He's got his finger on the pulse—and the buttons!
- Commander-in-Chief: Can order the military around (mostly without tripping).
- Veto Power: Like a giant "NO" stamp for any laws he hates.
- The Cabinet: A group of 15 experts (or "minions") who help run things like spies, money, and space lasers.
HORRIBLE FACT!
The President gets a "Nuclear Football" briefcase, but it's not for soccer—it's for global disaster!
DISGUSTING DETAIL!
The House of Representatives has 435 members. That's a lot of people yelling in one room!
The Squabbling Squires (Legislative)
The Congress is like a giant factory that makes rules. Sometimes they just make a mess!
The Senate
100 tall hats (2 per state). They approve judges and treaties.
The House
435 noisy neighbors. They handle the money bills first.
In 2025, the Republicans have the edge, making it a very busy (and noisy) place!
The Gavel-Wielding Giants (Judicial)
The Supreme Court is the final judge. If they say a law is "unconstitutional," it's tossed into the dumpster!
- 9 Justices: Appointed for life (or until they get bored/old).
- The Robes: They wear black robes to look serious, but maybe they're just hiding snacks.
- Power: They can tell the President and Congress they are wrong. Ouch!
SMASH!
HOW A LAW IS COOKED (A Recipe for Disaster)
Someone has a "bright" idea (often after a nap).
Committees argue, scream, and change everything.
Everyone presses buttons. If "Yes" wins, it moves on!
The President signs it or uses his "Veto Stamp"!
Warning: Most "ideas" die in Step 2. It's a legislative graveyard!
THE GIGANTIC MONEY PIT!
Where does your allowance go?

Money for the wrinkly ones!

The Star
Donald Trump (47th President). Known for fast talk and faster tweets.
