The Department of State which is part of the Executive Branch.

While State does deal with ambassadors on a regular basis (being the diplomatic department of the Executive Branch), technically, the President himself (or herself) receives foreign ambassadors.

This is a formal diplomatic protocol, where the new foreign ambassador meets with the President, and presents his credentials (e.g. his documents showing that he is now the formal representative of his country to the USA). The President accepts those documents, officially recognizing this new appointment. This formal ceremony is only performed upon the first entry of a new ambassador; from then on, communications are through normal channels (usually, but not always, the Dept of State).
