The President is the head of the Executive Branch, whose duty is to enforce laws. He also has the power to veto bills submitted by Congress; as well as pardoning sentenced prisoners.

The Court system is the Judicial Branch, whose duty is to decide cases upon current law; unless the current law is determined to be unconstitutional, or defective in other ways.
