The oldest type of city government in America is the mayor-council.
This kind of governing system or governing body is one among two very popular
governing systems present in United States of America. This kind of governing
system is prevalent in case of very large sized cities. A mayor is the head of
the council formed. The mayor is actually elected by the voters. This kind of
system can have a strong or a weak mayor. The weak mayor is almost powerless without his
or her council members.
