The four main branches of the United States government are the executive branch, legislative branch, judicial branch, and the federal judiciary. The executive branch is led by the President of the United States, who is elected by popular vote every four years. The legislative branch consists of Congress, which is made up of two houses – the House of Representatives and the Senate. The judicial branch includes the Supreme Court, lower courts, and administrative agencies. Finally, the federal judiciary is made up of federal judges appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
