Executive of the US. That is the Federal President

Executive of the State. That is the Governor.

Everyone in the body politic votes for the head of the Republic, the Executive.

Federal, State, Local and County.

Everyone in the body politic of a state votes for the head as either the executive of the Commonwealth or a Governor, ... well, I'm from Louisiana that follows the Napoleonic Code and we are so convoluted we have Parishes instead of Counties. It works for us.


The point is that the other body politics are the legislative branches. The Governor is the Executive head in states, the Mayor is the head in mediating ideas amongst cities, the President is the head in mediating on the behalf of the American people among other nations.

We know.

We elected President Obama to do this for us. Not Senator Tom Cotton, Not Speaker Boehner, and not Senator Mitch McConnell. None of you have run your own respective railroads very well, why do you think you can run President Obamas?

You don't get the chance to vote for the governor of your state?

That's your President.
