Three Branches of US Government

Hello, Everyone. This is Yumika from EDC3.
Our group will give you a presentation about "Three Branches of US Government".
US government has three branches;Executive Branch, Legislative Branch and Judicial Branch.
The President of The United States is a administer of Executive Branch. Legislative Branch is made up of Congress. This congress is divided into two parts; Senate and House of Representatives. Judicial Branch is made up of the court system. Supreme court is the highest court of the United States.
My Part is Judicial Branch, so I would like to introduce about Supreme court more specifically.
In "The Pelican Brief", 2 justice were killed and the 2 justices are the justice of Supreme court.
In this story, The President of United States has something to do with this murder case. I think it has some relation with the system that Supreme court 's justice are selected by The President. These days, The President of United states, Obama has named Hispanic woman as a supreme court's justice.
Here is the article http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6368289.ece
Supreme court are made up of 9 justices, and one out of nine were called Chief justice.
Their job is important and life time job. Supreme court is the highest court in United states, so there are lots of lower court below the Supreme Court.
Here is the video about Judicial Branch



I hope you can learn something new by our presentation!
