The US Government
After its 200th birthday the United States of America still holds the leading position in the western world. A country that has inspired many names - "Land of Opportunity", "Meeting Pot", "God's Country" is still referred to as land of superlatives - "the richest", "the greatest", "the most".
In size the United States is not the biggest. What makes the USA the leader of the western world is its economic, political and military dominance over other countries. The United States is a parliamentary republic. The Government is divided into 3 branches: legislative (the US Congress), executive (the President and his Administration) and judicial (the US Supreme Court).
There are two main political parties in the USA the Democratic (symbolize by a "donkey") and the Republican (symbolized by an "elephant"). The US president is both head of State and of government. He is elected for a 4-year term. The Supreme Court consists of Chief Justice and 8 Associate Justices who are appointed for life.
The Supreme Court is supposed to decide whether a law of the Congress or an executive order of the President is "Constitutional or not".

Соединенные Штаты Америки после своего 200-летнего юбилея попрежнему удерживают ведущие позиции в западном мире. Об этой стране, породившей множество таких вдохновенных названий, как "Страна возможностей", "Плавильный горн", "Богоизбранная земля", попрежнему говорят в превосходной степени: "богатейшая", "величайшая", "самая".
Между тем по размерам своей территории США не являются самой большой страной. Лидером западного мира делает США их экономическое, политическое и военное превосходство над другими странами. США - парламентская республика, в которой власть разделена на 3 составляющих: законодательную (конгресс США), исполнительную (президент и его администрация) и судебную (Верховный суд США).
В стране существуют 2 основные политические партии: Демократическая, эмблема которой - осел, и Республиканская, эмблема которой - слон. Президент США одновременно выполняет роль и главы государства, и главы правительства. Он избирается на четырехгодичный срок. Верховный суд состоит из Главного судьи и его восьми помощников, все они назначаются на свои посты пожизненно.
Верховный суд должен вынести решение о том, являются ли законы, принимаемые конгрессом, и исполнительные распоряжения президента "конституционными".

I am a person who loves all the kinds of music. I can listen to rock, rap, r-n-b, hip-hop, pop, classic music and more. There are lots of names in the list of my favourite singers. Some of them, like Eminem, are well-known and loved worldwide. Another, like Masha Badda Boo, are less famous, but make nice music anyway. I have never visited concerts, because I don't have enough money to see all the singers I like. I also can't name the most favourite one. I enjoy listen to different styles, and I am glad to be a multi-musical person.
