"Democracy" and "Republic" are not mutually exclusive ways of describing a government.
We have representative democracy. We are also a constitutional republic.

Neither of those things are true, as they are not descriptive of the three branches of american government, which is where power is collected.
The closest you get to describing the government in this country is "american democracy," which is a euphemism for "a constitutional, indirectly democratic republic, mediated by legislation & the judiciary," or something.
