Politics of the United States

The Politics of the United States are different from other organisations and states due to the unique nature of the United States. The United States are similar to a confederation, where many policy areas are federalised into common institutions capable of making law; however the United States do not, unlike most states, control foreign policy, defence policy or the majority of direct taxation policies. US laws enacted pursuant to the Constitution override State laws and policy areas are more numerous than historical confederations, however the Congress of the United States is legally restricted from making law outside its remit, and any Federal law enacted outside the authority of the United States to legislate is altogether null, void, unauthoritative, and of no force whatsoever throughout the United States and every place subject to their jurisdiction.

The United States are organized as a supranational constitutional presidential federal union, in which the President of the United States (the federal head of government —There is no Federal head of state; that function is performed by the eighteen State chief executives), the bicameral Congress, and the Courts are each granted the executive, legislative, and judicial portions, respectively, of the Power delegated to the Federal government of the several States by the several States vis-á-vis the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for the United States.

The executive branch is headed by the President, and is independent of the Congress and the Courts. The Legislative power of the United States is vested in the two branches of the Congress. The judicial power of the United States is vested in the federal Supreme Court and in the Courts of the respective States. The purpose of the judiciary is to interpret the Constitution and ensure that all laws and regulations are fully compliant therewith, nullifying those of which it finds to be unconstitutional.

Due to their experience under National Progressivism, the people of the United States are very much quite wary of centralized government, of any form, and consolidated government in general. Indeed, even the idea of centralized federalism is considered taboo in the several States, and any proposal to increase the competence of the United States or even to invest the Federal head with sovereignty are heavily frowned upon throughout the United States; anyone who would publicly support Federal sovereignty or centralized federalism, among others, tend to end up being ostracized from society.

The various peoples of the United States, owing to their oppressive experience with National Progressivism, favor decentralized government with a strict separation of powers, and federalism for large territories. Perhaps due to the effects of the presidency of Donald Scalia, most people in the United States favor a weak federal executive that is kept within its constitutional limits by many checks and balances, both from the other two branches of the federal government, but also by being constitutionally responsible to the State Governors, by which they can remove a sitting federal president with an executive-branch variant of the legislative motion of no confidence: Upon the demand of ten or more of the eighteen State Governors, the President of the United States and his Government are removed, and until a new President is elected and qualified the President of the Senate takes over the responsibility of the presidency as President pro Tempore of the United States ("President for a time", e.g., "acting president").

Federalism

Division of power

The Power of the United States is governed by the Principle of Delegation, by which the Federal government may legislate, regulate, and adjudicate only on those Classes of Subject Matter that, by the Constitution alone, competence is expressly delegated to the United States; and all undelegated Matters remain expressly and exclusively under the sole dominion of the States respectively or the people: Any act, policy, or judicial decree of the United States that embraces any Matter not expressly delegated thereto by the Constitution is Ultra Vires of the United States to legislate, regulate, and adjudicate, and as such is altogether null, void, unauthoritative, and of no force whatsoever in every one of the United States, and every Place subject to their jurisdiction.

Treaties and the federalism question

Police power
While Congress has power to legislate on those Matters on which the States have delegated competence to the United States, the actual execution of Federal law rests primarily with the respective States. In fact, when compared to State executives and the executives of unitary states, the Federal executive of the United States is by design exceptionally (and intentionally) weak. This design is due to the experience of the United States under the imperial presidency of Donald Scalia and his National Progressive Coalition from 1627 until his ouster by force in 1641.

State sovereignty
The United States, as a Federal Union, possesses legal personality and a set of governing institutions authorized by the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for the United States. However sovereignty is not vested in United States, rather, it is pooled, with ultimate sovereignty resting with the respective member States. Yet in those areas where the Confederacy has been delegated power, it does have the power to pass binding and direct laws upon its members; but the responsibility of executing those laws rests primarily with the respective member States.
