The executive branch is one of the three main parts of the government, responsible for enforcing laws and running the country. It is led by the President, who is supported by the Vice President and a team of advisors known as the Cabinet. This branch ensures that laws passed by the legislative branch are implemented and followed. In addition to the President, the executive branch includes various federal agencies, such as the Department of Defense and the Department of Education. These agencies help manage specific areas of government, making sure that services are provided to the public and that national policies are carried out effectively.
