Government System (Pick from List): Social Democracy
Government System (short description): The Amalian Government is a Presidential Republic, divided between the Legislative, the Judicial, and Executive Branch. The Legislative Branch is in charge of proposing bills and voting on them and is made up of the Amalian Congress, which is further divided into two houses. The House of Representatives, and the Senate. It is here where bills are debated by representatives and senators. For a bill to pass, it must go through both houses successfully with a majority agreeing on it.
If a bill passes, then it is brought before the Executive Branch, made up of the President and Vice-President, who is picked by the President-Elect during an election. It is here the President passes a law into motion, although they do hold the power to veto it if they see fit.
If the President passes a law, it is then up to the Judicial Branch, made up of the Supreme Court, to go about enforcing and interpreting that law. The Supreme Court is the highest court in Amalia, and is able to pick and choose which cases it follows, and which it does not. Cases are required to involve Federal Law in one way or another or be about laws the laws of more than one state in the Union. Currently, the Court is made up of one Chief Justice, and eight Associate Justices, both of whom are hand-picked by the President and confirmed by the Amalian Senate.
The President is elected every 6 years in the month of November and maybe elected for an unlimited amount of terms, though if defeated, they may not run again. However, there are a series of checks and balances that limit the President's power, to ensure a healthy and safe democracy, free from potential autocrats vying for control.
