U.S. and Japan have a few similar political and economic
patterns; even Japan
has favored group interests and cultural values in running the national
political ideologies and government-guided economic policies. U.S Congress,
both houses, is controlled by Democrat and Republican for centuries compared to
Japan’s the Diet influenced and controlled by two big parties – Democratic
Party of Japan and Liberal Democratic Party – and other smaller parties –
People’s Life First, New Komeito, Your Party and others. Japan’s Prime Minister Candidate is
nominated by the winning party at the lower house of the Diet. That party will
choose the current president of the party as New Prime Minister of Japan. The
new Prime Minister will choose members of the new cabinet. U.S. Congress runs
with two houses – Senate and Representative. A senator has a 6-year-term office
and a representative has a 2-year-term office. American voters choose a
candidate for White House each very-four-year. Republicans and Democrats will
nominate their U.S. President candidates for U.S. President Election. Japan and U.S. also approve new policies by
opinions and decisions of legislators – members of U.S Congress and members of
the Diet.
