Three branches of the Government of USA

"More Americans can name the three stooges than the three branches of government. Well, that's because the three stooges are more likely to get something done." --David Letterman

Just so you know, Here are the three branches of American Government:

The executive, legislative, and judicial

From the WIKI: Federal government of the USA

The federal government has three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. Through a system of separation of powers, each of these branches has some authority to act on its own, some authority to regulate the other two branches, and has some of its authority, in turn, regulated by one or both of the other branches.
