Executive Branch
The power of the executive branch is vested in the President, who also
serves as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. The President appoints the
Cabinet and oversees the various agencies and departments of the federal
government.
In order for a person to become President, he or she must be a
natural-born citizen of the United States, be at least 35 years of age, and
have resided in the United States for at least 14 years. Once elected, the
President serves a term of four years and may be re-elected only once.
