There are three branches of the United State government. One branch is the legislative branch which holds the power make laws and to frame public policies. Another branch is the executive branch which holds the power to execute, enforce, and administer law. The last branch is the judicial branch which holds the power to interpret laws, to determine their meaning and to settle disputes that arise within the society.…
The President also acts as the head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The Cabinet of the Executive Branch is responsible for enforcement and administration of the federal laws on a daily basis. Fun Fact: the Executive Branch employs more than 4 million Americans. The President is head of the state and also head of the government of the United States and he or she is also the Commander-in-Chief of the United States armed forces. Due to the 2nd article of the Constitution, the President is responsible for the execution and enforcement of the laws created by Congress. There are fifteen executive departments and each department is led by a chosen member of the President's Cabinet; they carry out day-to-day administration of the federal government. The 25th Amendment deals with the succession to the Presidency and establishes the procedure to follow for filling in the office in the absence of the President. The 25th Amendment supersedes the wording of Article 11, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution and tells what the Vice President becomes the President or Acting President if the real President is to die, become impeached, or quits. The White house staff has a decent-sized role in helping the President and his decisions. The staff suggests ideas that the President would not have thought about, since they might not affect him as much as they would the staff. If the President…
* The Executive Branch allows the President to carry out federal laws, recommend new laws, and direct national defense and foreign policy.…
The president holds the most authority as commander in chief than in any other role. While the Congress has the sole power to declare war, the president can send armed forces into a country in situations that are the equivalent of war. Numerous presidents in the history of America have exercised…
Under the constitution the President has military, legislative, appointment, and diplomatic power. Our framers of the constitution wanted a strong military but not complete seizure of the government. Diplomatic powers and appointment powers are also under senate’s approval. The President’s legislative power can be over ridden by congress so by far this is not one of the power points of presidency. The President has sole powers of pardons granted. Under circumstances of war and terrorism the president engages in the most power.…

I think The Executive branch is the most power in the constitution because the president is in charge of this branch. My reasons why this branch has the most power is that after the people select a president, they get elected for four years. Also, the president will become commander and chief of the military,and lastly the executive branch is responsible of executing…
The President is the commander- in-chief of our armed services, he can veto congressional legislation, and he nominates judges. The legislative Branch controls the budget, approves the Presidents nominations, can pass laws over the president’s veto, and can impeach and remove the president from office. The Senate confirms the nominations for judges. The Judicial Branch can declare laws unconstitutional, declares presidential acts unconstitutional.…

What were the reasons America’s forefathers divided the government into the legislative, judicial, and executive branches? How does this benefit the three branches?…
Each branch is restrained by the other two in several ways. For example, the president may veto a law passed by Congress. Congress can override that veto with a vote of two-thirds of both houses. Another example is that the Supreme Court may check Congress by declaring a law unconstitutional. The power is balanced by the fact that members of the Supreme Court are appointed by the president. Those appointments have to be approved by Congress.…
One power the President has is commander in chief. The president is commander in chief of the armed forced and is charged with the defence of the USA. The President has the power to order the use of troops overseas without actually declaring war. For example, in 2002…
The second branch established by the Constitution is the Executive Branch, so done by Article II. The Executive Branch is responsible for enforcing laws, which have been enacted by Congress, and is headed by the president. The third branch, established by Article III, is the Judicial Branch, responsible for interpreting the Constitution and other federal law, and trying civil and also criminal cases. The greatest power had by the judicial branch is arguably the power of Judicial Review. Judicial Review is the power the judiciary holds to determine constitutionality of laws enacted by the congress. This power is not enumerated in and given to the judiciary by the constitution, instead it exists only because of a ruling of this same branch not made until 1803. The Supreme Court decision of Marbury v. Madison established the high court and lower courts’ power to review legislation for the purposes of determining constitutionality (Cranch). Because this power is only held because of a ruling by itself and not because it was assigned by the constitution, the judicial branch is therefore inherently the least…
The legislative branch, or Congress is responsible for creating the laws of the nation, making it the most powerful branch of government. The executive branch holds the sole duty of enforcing the laws passed by Congress to ensure order in the nation, giving the branch its power. The Supreme court, or the judicial branch, interprets these laws made by Congress, they can declare laws unconstitutional thus checking the power of Congress. The Constitution gives equality to its citizens and the three branches of government, it limits powers and abilities as well as ensures the needs of the people, the three branches ensure the order of the nation and creates harmonization in the government and its…
I gather from our readings and videos that the United States Judicial Branch certainly is the most power branch of government. I believe this has been the case since Marbury vs. Madison in 1803 exercising the basis of judicial review under Article III of the Constitution. Judicial review is where the court has the ability to examine and decided if a statue, treaty or administrative regulation contradicts or violates the previsions of an existing law, State Constitution, or United States Constitution. In my opinion the Judicial Branch has gotten a little too big for their britches in recent years. They basically have the final say on what is constitutional and what is not regardless of the situation. The Judicial Branch has the authority to override any of the other branches of government.…
