There are three branches of government in the U.S. - Legislative (makes laws, from the Latin "legis" for law), Judicial (the highest court in the land) and Executive. Same is true at the State level - Legislative, Judicial and Executive, though they may be called by different names.

The Executive branch signs or vetoes laws, appoints judges at the Federal level (they may be elected at the State level), grants pardons, appoints board and commission members and oversees the armed forces (true at both State and Federal levels of government). Additionally, and largely via the appointed cabinet members, this branch of government oversees the common operations of government - social services, financial/economic, prisons, health care services, and the like.

The Executive branch of the U.S. government includes the President, Vice President and Cabinet (and at the State level, usually the Governor, Lt. Governor and the Governor's cabinet)
