The Legislative, the Judicial, and Executive Branch
The Legislative, the Judicial, and Executive Branch
The Legislative, the Judicial, and Executive Branch
Chorus:
The balance of power between the branches three
Helps our government to run smoothly
Each branch is responsible for checking the other
So every branch gets equal power
The President's branch is the Executive Branch
It grants pardons for federal crimes
It appoints judges and leads political parties
And vetoes bills at any time
Chorus:
The balance of power between the branches three
Helps our government to run smoothly
Each branch is responsible for checking the other
So every branch gets equal power
The Supreme Court rules the Judicial Branch
Deciding what the laws should mean
They rule when politicians act unfair
And sentence those who act illegally
Chorus:
The balance of power between the branches three
Helps our government to run smoothly
Each branch is responsible for checking the other
So every branch gets equal power
The Congress is the Legislative Branch
Overriding vetoes and passing laws
They have the power to impeach the president
And any other officers
Chorus:
The balance of power between the branches three
Helps our government to run smoothly
Each branch is responsible for checking the other
So every branch gets equal power
Our ancestors organized a document
And called it the Constitution
James Madison thought keeping room for amendments
Would help keep a strong a central government
Chorus:
The balance of power between the branches three
Helps our government to run smoothly
Each branch is responsible for checking the other
So every branch gets equal power
