The Executive Branch, established by the U.S. Constitution, enforces laws and represents the citizens. The President serves a four-year term, eligible for two terms, must be at least 35 years old, and a native-born U.S. citizen who has resided in the U.S. for the last 14 years. The Vice President plays a critical role, including assuming presidential duties in certain situations and assisting in succession. The electoral process involves electors from the Electoral College, based on congressional representation. Key grounds for impeachment include treason and bribery.
