Branches of the Goverment

There are 3 braches of the goverment. these branches are executive, legislative, and judicial. the executive branch consist of the president, vice president, and the cabinet members. some of the cabinet members are secretary of treasury, defense, health, home secruity, welfare, and many more. legislative is the congress, senate, and house of representatives. these are the people who pass bills when this bill is passed it gets sent to the president and the president could either approve it or veto it but of course congress could overriide his veto. After this bill becomes a law it will get sent to the judicial branch which is the Supreme Court. there are 9 supreme court judges, 2 are women. now as the law gets passed through this branch they can either rule it constituional which means it will be a law and its official or they can rule it unconstitutional which mean the law will be thrown out.
