The Executive Branch

The Executive branch would be the leadership branch. This branch would include one leader who would be called the President, and he/she would be helped by the Vice-President. The President would also have a group of advisors, called the Cabinet. The President and Vice-President would be elected by the people of the country, and the President would choose the advisors he/she wanted in the Cabinet.

The President and his wife (called the First Lady) today live in the White House in Washington, D.C. The President also has his offices in this building.
