Mayoralty in the United States

The structure of city governance in the United States determines the specific roles and powers of a mayor, leading to various types of mayoral positions. American mayors tend to be formally addressed as His or Her Honor while in office. It is uncommon for mayors of large cities to serve for extended periods, as many cities have term limits or arrange leadership changes with elections or alternative methods.
