what does the excutive branch of government do??

Answer 1

The exutive branch is one of the three main branches of the American Government. This particular branch is what the President, Vice President, etc. are in charge of. Think of the excutive branch as the maker of bills, (proposed laws).
While the excutive branch proposes the bills, the Judicial branch makes sure they are indeed legal to pass (they make sure the proposed laws don't break any other laws, etc.). And the Legislative branch ensures the proposed laws are constitutional.

It's been a while since Senior Economics in high school. But I think thats the basic jist of it.

Answer 2

The executive branch includes all elements of the government NOT in the Congress or Supreme court. that is to say all the departments/cabinets for example DOD, Dept of Agriculture, Dept of the Interior, National Energy Commission, All the civil service employees work for the executive branch and do the work of the federal branch, from managing federal programs to picking up trash left by the public in national parks, fighting wild fires on federal lands protecting the nation, shall I go on????

Answer 3

The Executive branch of the U.S. government (that is, the president, not the vice president or Cabinet) enforces the laws.

Answer 4

The executive branch carries out laws passed by congress and can also veto laws passed by congress. The president can appoint his own cabinet and the supreme court justices.

Answer 5

The Executive branch of the Federal Government all falls directly under the President. It is meant to enact the laws passed by Congress and the powers delegated to the executive branch by the Constitution. To do this it has evolved into a number of functional areas.
