Article 1 talks about the legislative branch. There is two houses of Congress which are the House or Representatives and the Senate. There are 435 people in the House of Representatives. There is 100 people in the Senate. The number of Congressmen depends on the population of the state. However, every single state has 2 senators. They have to get re-elected every 2 years. Senators are in office for 6 years. The Congress are the ones who are responsible for passing laws. It then goes to the President to be confirmed or appealed. If 2/3 of the Senate over ride the Presidents veto, the law is able to be passed. Congress can impose taxes and declare war.
Article 2 is all about the president. It states his power and duties. Each president has to take the oath on the Bible. It states that you have to protect, preserve, and defend the Constitution. They have to do the State of the Union each year. You can impeach a president.
