What is the executive branch of our government?
This Branch administers and carries out the laws passed by the Legislative Branch. It is headed by the President. The executive branch basically makes sure the laws that the Legislative branch makes are followed. In other words, they carry out laws made by the Legislative branch. Except for Congress and the Federal Courts, practically ever activity of federal government is carried out by the executive branch.
Which countries have a presidential form of government?
Many countries have presidential governments, although the method of determining those presidents varies and the title of the executive in charge varies. The United States, India, Japan, France and Spain all have very similar types of government.
Is the governor part of the executive branch?
The Governor, similar to the President at the Federal Level, is the chief executive of a state government. State Governments in this manner are the same as they are required to be "republican in nature".
Who is president if the president is removed from office?
The President can remove nearly any Executive Branch appointee, including cabinet officers. That is why they have the mantra "I serve at the pleasure of the President." Note, as an elected officer, the Vice President is not subject to removal by the President. The exceptions are certain Congressionally-specified Executive Branch agencies which have leaders appointed for fixed terms. Generally, those agencies are supposed to be "non-partisan" agencies, such as the Securities Exchange Commission, or which should be explicitly insulated from political influence, such as the FBI. The other primary exception is Administrative Law Judges, which are part of the Executive Branch, not the Judicial Branch. These judges may not be removed from office by the President. All of the aforementioned positions may be removed from office via various means, but not at the sole discretion of the President. As Commander in Chief of the US Armed services, the President has the power to reassign ANY member of the Armed Services from their current post, though they may not demoted or forced out of the military without appropriate administrative action (e.g. Court Martial or similar disciplinary action). The President may not promote officers to General (or equivalent) or higher rank without permission from Congress. No member of the Judicial or Legislative Branch may be removed by the President. Of course, most non-appointed government employees are protected from removal, except for criminal offenses, by civil service regulations.
What are the four basic types of agencies in the federal executive branch?
The vast majority of agencies in the executive branch of the federal government are: Cabinet; independent; commissions; and government corporations. There are currently 15 cabinet agencies. Most of these are vast and diverse with numerous divisions and or bureaus. For example OSHA is in the Department of Labor. These are the largest of government agencies, and are directed by a lead official usually referred to as a secretary. The secretaries are appointed by the president with Senate consent, and they often have a number of assistant and deputy secretaries who are also politically appointed by the president. The independent agencies are similar to the cabinet agencies in that the president appoints a lead administrator, and this person reports to the president. Independent agencies are typically much smaller than cabinet agencies and also have more narrowly defined tasks. The CIA, NASA, and EPA are some of the most well know independent agencies. They are called independent agencies because they are not in a cabinet agency. FEMA was once an independent agency but now is in the Department of Homeland Security, a cabinet agency. Government commissions, often referred to as regulatory commissions, differ from these other agencies in that they have multiple leaders. The SEC has five commissioners, of whom one is appointed chair by the president. All of the commissioners are appointed by the president with Senate consent and they serve for fixed terms. Thus, a new president cannot remove them like he can remove the heads of other agencies. These commissions usually regulate business. Examples include the FCC, and FTC. The fourth type of government organization is government corporations. These organizations may have multiple or single leaders. The Tennessee Valley Authority and Amtrak are examples of government corporations. They are usually part public and part private in that they can issue bond debt to raise their own money for capital projects, and also receive appropriations from the federal government. They engage in what are common marketplace functions like communications, transportation, and energy.
