This is one of the most major differences I have found. Even though The United States has had females run for the presidential candidacy, none have made it.

When it comes to the voting of these representatives they each use the popular vote. The only difference is the number of terms they both have. In Brazil, they only get one four-year term, and in The United States they get 2 four year
