ClassX Video Lessons Presidents’ Day – President of USA Job | 3 Branches of Government | Compilation for kids.
Hello, everyone! Today, we’re going to learn about what the president of the United States does. The president is a very important leader. Let’s find out more!
Every four years, people in the United States vote to choose a new president. But not just anyone can be president! To be president, a person must be born in the U.S., be at least 35 years old, and have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years.
Once elected, the president becomes the leader of the executive branch. This means they are in charge of making sure laws are followed. The president is also the commander-in-chief of the military, which means they are the top leader of the armed forces.
When a new president starts their job, they have a special ceremony in front of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Here, they promise to protect the Constitution. Then, they move into the White House, where they live and work.
Every day, the president works in the Oval Office at the White House. They sign important papers and work with a group of advisors called the Cabinet. The president also travels to meet other leaders around the world.
Do you know how laws are made? There are three branches of government in the United States, and each has a special job in making laws.
The legislative branch is called Congress. Congress members think of new ideas for laws, called bills. But a bill can’t become a law until the president approves it. If the president doesn’t like a bill, they can veto, or reject, it. If the president signs it, the bill becomes a law.
The judicial branch is made up of courts and judges. The highest court is the U.S. Supreme Court. Judges in this branch make sure laws are fair.
Here are some questions to see what you’ve learned:
The answer is the legislative branch!
The answer is the president!
The answer is judges!
Do you know what it means to vote? Voting is when people make important choices. For example, if your family can’t decide what to eat for dinner, you can take a vote to choose!
Voting is very important. Adults who are 18 and older vote to choose leaders like the mayor, governor, and even the president. On Election Day, people go to places like schools or libraries to vote. They use a ballot to make their choices, and then the votes are counted to pick a new leader.
Let’s take a trip to Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States! This is where the president lives and works. It’s also where many important decisions are made.

Hello, boys and girls! Today, we’re going to talk about the president’s job in the United States. The president is the leader of the executive branch. Do you know what the president does? Let’s find out!
U.S. citizens vote for a new president every four years. They choose from a group of candidates who want to become the next president of the United States. However, not everyone can be president; there are a few special rules. The president must be a U.S. citizen, born in America, at least 35 years old, and a resident of the U.S. for at least 14 years.
When a new president is elected, they become the leader of the executive branch. The president is also known as the commander-in-chief of the United States armed forces. The ceremony marking the beginning of a new president’s duties takes place in front of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. At this ceremony, the new leader promises to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States. Afterward, the new president moves to the White House to live and work. The White House is located in Washington, D.C., which is the capital of the United States.
Each morning, the president goes to the Oval Office of the White House to work. One of the president’s duties is to sign important papers, which can include bills passed by Congress. The U.S. president nominates a group of people who will advise and assist them in their duties; together, these people form the Cabinet of the United States. Ambassadors, Supreme Court judges, and other senior officials are also nominated by the president. The president travels all over the world to talk to other leaders.

Voting is very important. Grown-ups who are 18 and older vote when it is time to choose new leaders for a community. This could be the mayor of a city or the governor of a state. Citizens even vote for the president of the United States.
[Music]
See what happens when people vote on Election Day. Citizens go to a special place, like a library or a school gym, to vote for leaders in their community. Inside, there are many voting booths that help keep votes private. Voters select their choices on a ballot and put it in the ballot box. Some voting booths have special computers instead of ballot boxes. After all the votes have been counted, a new leader is chosen.
Let’s review!
