Answer 4

Panama basically has a two party system. There are a whole slew of political parties but only two have been running the country for the past 50 years or so. There is a one-house legislative branch called the National Assembly and whose members are called "deputies." There is one President who is in charge of the Executive branch and two Vice Presidents. The Judicial Branch has three primary levels, with the top being the Supreme Court with nine judges, the middle level Superior Courts, and then a whole bunch of lower level or first level circuit courts. Elections are held every five years. Sitting President's are prevented by the constitution from being re-elected. There are a great many "checks and balances" built into the current Panamanian political structure that were added after the US invasion "Just Cause" in 1989.
