The similarites between the Consuls and the President are that they both control the senate and are commander-in-chiefs. For example, Julius Caesar was a Consul and created part of the Roman Empire. President George W. Bush had the American troops fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. The similarities between the Tribunes and the House of Representatives are that they represent the people. They both accept laws that are good for the people.
The differences between the Roman Senate and the American Senate are as follows:
- Roman senators serve for life (unless censors fire them), American ones only serve for 6 years
- Roman senators control foreign affairs. Our senators, I think, don't.
