Who would lead the federal government?

• A. The President.
• B. The Governor.
• C. The Mayor.
• D. The Prime Minister.

Answer: (A)

In a federal government, the national leader is the President. The President heads the executive branch, enforces laws, helps shape national policy, and serves as the country’s main representative internationally. Governors run state governments, not the whole country; mayors lead cities; and a Prime Minister is the leader in many other countries with different systems. So, the President is the person who leads the federal government.
