Mayors belong to the executive department of local/town government in the United States and most other federal republics as well. Some towns or large cities have constitutions that limit the power a mayor can employ while in office.

They belong to this branch because they maintain the city services and ensure that the laws are enforced. They maintain the checks and balances with the city council (legislative department) and the municipal courts (judicial branch). In many smaller towns, the mayor is only a part-time or honorary position with little or no actual authority, and little if any pay.
