A presidential state, the Commonwealth has a three-way separation of powers between the legislative, executive, and juridicial branches of government. The legislative branch, Congress, is unicameral, consisting of a sole House of Representatives. The 15 members of the House of Representatives are directly elected from three electoral districts: Eastern, Great Lakes, and Western, with each district having a proportional amount of seats to its part of the national population (albeit at a minimum of two representatives per district). The executive branch consists of the Executive Council, led by the president, who is the head of state and chief of government of the Commonwealth of America. | |||
