no, we have a series of checks and balances, This system is put in place so that one branch of government cannot have power over the other. For example, the legislative branch can pass a bill through the House of Representatives and the Senate however, the law doesn't go into effect unless the president signs the bill, this is the executive branch checking the legislative branch. However the president doesn't have absolute say over what goes into law because once he vetos a bill, it can still be passed if it wins in congress by a 3/4 vote
