I never knew what each branches had what power. Thank you for the insightful information.
This really does explain the separation of powers, and how people always think that the president has a lot of power in the government but this sets it into place
You should move the words a little more to the center, because it looks a little weird. But this information is very basic and to the point, I learned something new today! :D Now we know that who the qualifications of whomever is in office.
I love this because its so simplified into easy readable points about all branches, than you so much, this is going to help me in my project!
I didn't have a clue on what the requirements were for someone to be president. This clarifies the whole thing!
Now it makes sence on what each power of branches focuses on and what it requires, and how us the people can understand clearly.
I know the three branches can be difficult to understand and what are their power but today you guys made it look easier to learn them. It has a lot of interesting facts that i didn't know in the pass but now i do. I like this topic. Thanks
