The executive branch is responsible for writing and enforcing laws. The branch also determines who the head of each government agency is.
What is deemed necessary to the discharge of executive responsibilities is called "executive authority" or "executive powers." This encompasses the legal and constitutional powers granted to an executive branch or leader to implement laws, manage public policy, and oversee government operations. These powers are essential for effective governance and the administration of public services.
The President, within the executive branch, has broad powers. He manages the workings of our federal government as well as national affairs.
Executive powers refer to the authority granted to the executive branch of government, typically to enforce laws, manage the administration, and conduct foreign affairs. In the United States, these powers are primarily derived from Article II of the Constitution, which outlines the responsibilities and powers of the President. The establishment of these powers was influenced by both the framers' desire for a strong national leadership and the need to balance power among the branches of government. Over time, executive powers have also evolved through legislation, judicial interpretation, and presidential precedent.
