In a mayor-council system and a council-manager system, a council is responsible for making laws and policies. These two types of local governmental structure in the United States are headed by a Mayor who can be popularly elected or elected by the council members.

In the mayor council system, the Mayor functions as a real chief executive of the city, with the power for vetoing the council’s actions. While in the council manager form, the Mayor only has a ceremonial title and has been elected by the council from among its members with no executive functions.
