No no no.... Sorry to burst your bubble, but we are not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic, meaning that we are a republic (as is stated in our pledge of allegiance) that abides by our governing constitution.
The United States is the world's oldest federal constitutional republic.
First, it is federal because a union composed of fifty partially self-governing states and federal one federal district united by a central ("federal") government. The self-governing status of the component states are constitutionally well-established and may not be altered by a independent decision of the central government.
Second, the country is a constitutional republic because it is is a state where the head of state (President) and other officials (Legislative Branch: Senate and House of Representatives) are elected as representatives of the people, and must govern according to existing constitutional law (The Constitution of The United States) that limits the government's power over citizens.
Furthermore, in a constitutional republic, the executive, legislative, and judicial powers are separated into distinct branches and the will of the majority of the population is tempered by protections for individual rights so that no individual or group has absolute power (Checks and Balances). The fact that there is a constitutional law limiting the government's power; makes the country constitutional.
The fact that the head(s) of state (the President, the Head of Congress, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court) and other officials are chosen by election, rather than inheriting their positions, and that their decisions are subject to judicial review makes the United States republican.

You're mixing things up. The United States is a constitutional republic, yes, but the form of government that the USA has as a constitutional republic is in the form of a representative democracy, in which in which the citizens delegate authority to elected representatives. This is also known as an "indirect democracy."
The term "republic" describes what the country itself is. "Democracy" describes the form of government it has.

It is supposed to be a democracy, but in fact it is a republic, just as the Pledge of Allegance states. It is quickly moving to a New World Order, although many Americans would have it differently. The true United States Government does not exist since it was declared bankrupt and insolvent by President Roosevelt in 1933. All govermental agentcies have been working under declaration of emergency power since then. Amazing to say the least.
The Federal Reserve is not a part of the U.S. government, it is a private banking system established in 1913 on Jekyll Island, Georgia by the very bankers and families which caused the Great Depression and the bankruptcy of the true Constitutional government in 1933. They are now the ones controlling the U.N. and all of America's financial institutions.

This person needs to study history of the Republic of the United States. The President does not have the power to declare a nation bankrupt and insolvent.
President Roosevelt served for 4 years and could have served longer but for his poor health. He did however put many people back to work through government work programs.
The only truth in your statement that is factual is the fact that we are a republic. Hence our president is elected by the electoral college and all policies are made by representative persons of the people.
