<span>There are several key components that contribute to making the balance of power successful in the United States government. Perhaps the most important is the division of power among three branches: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. These various entities have specific jobs to do but must work in conjunction with each other. If they were allowed to work independently, there would be no check and balance system for our laws.
Additionally, in order for a bill to pass and become law, it must be first approved by the House of Representatives, then it must pass through the U.S. Senate. These two groups act as a screening process to ensure the bills are going to be beneficial to the majority of people in the country.
Another limitation of power is in the presidential veto. The president can veto a bill that's been passed by the House and Senate if he or she feels it would be in the best interest of the country and its peoples.
A third critical component involving limitation of power is in the requirement of the president to serve no more than two terms. This is called term limits and allows for healthy turnover, fresh ideas, and eliminates the possibility of what could be conceived as a dictatorship.</span>
