No, county commissions have executive powers, may have legislative powers, and also judicial or adjudicative powers (such as holding hearings on zoning appeals).

False.
Legislative Powers are exclusive to Congress. The Constitution separates the powers of government so that no branch becomes too powerful.
Under the separation of powers, principles laws can only be made by the Congress.
Laws are made by the Legislative Branch.
All US states have separation of powers, with independent executives, legislators, and judges (only some judges are elected). Not all state subdivisions (counties, cities, towns) have elected executives, such as mayors and town managers, but most do. The exceptions include county commissions and councils, where executive authority may be assigned to one member, or to an executive subgroup.
Because only the executive office can veto the laws
The balance of powers is dependant on each branch having a way to monitor the other branches, and each branch having its own separate abilities. The legislative branch is the only branch that can enact policy and change the Constitution. In addition, the legislative branch must approve all appointments to executive and judicial branches made by the President, and the legislative branch may impeach any member of the executive or judicial branch if necessary.
The powers that are not federal.
Article I of the Constitution sets up the legislative branch of the government. It spells out the powers of Congress, delineating those that only Congress has and those the states do not.
Technically, an actual legal declaration of war requires action by Congress. But "police actions" and "emergency deployments" often can happen with only an Executive Order. The War Powers Resolution remains a Constitutional gray area.
As part of the Executive Branch, the President had very limited Legislative power. Realistically, there is only one: the power to sign or Veto bills passed by Congress. All other powers of the President revolve around enforcing existing laws, not creating new ones. The sole (possible) exception could be the President's power to negotiate treaties, which can be construed as a legislative power (since a treaty creates legally binding law). However, as the President only negotiates them, not actually enacts them into law (the US Senate does that), including this power as a "legislative" power is weak.
