What are some other facts relating to government?
the government is sometimes secretly finding really priceless information like when the world will end, but no one knows much about the government until they are really, in the government. Sometimes, you just need to work things out normally and try your best in your own words. Heres a heads up though, the government is sneaky. Many people work for the government like cops and like judges. The government is one big thing that no one can by pass. But the government does work for the president. So the president is the ruler of us all. :) It was right off the top of me head.
