Answer 1: The President is the "executive branch" of the federal government.

The US Congress (which includes both the House of Representatives and the US Senate) is the "legislative branch" of the federal government.

The "US Supreme Court" is the "judicial branch" of the federal government.

Those are the three (3) branches of federal government, according to the US Constitution, and they exist to balance one another, so that no President may become too powerful, nor no Congress, nor no Supreme Court. It's part of what's called "the system of checks and balances," and it keeps any one part of the federal government from having too much unchecked power.

The President of the United States, per Article II of the US Constitution, the head of state and head of government of the United States. The president leads the executive branch of the federal government, and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces. He or she is charged with the execution of federal law; and with the appointment of all federal executive, diplomatic, regulatory and judicial officers. He or she may also make treaties with other nations, but only with the advice and consent of Congress. The President may also pardon federal prisoners, and/or grant them reprieves. He or she may also convene and adjourn either (or both) house(s) of Congress, but usually only under extraordinary (usually emergency) circumstances. The President, often thought of as the most powerful person in the world, is also mostly responsible for his political party's legislative agenda, as well as the both foreign and domestic policy of the country. When a bill is passed in Congress, the President must sign it in order for it to become law, or specifically veto it to keep it from becoming law.
