The Executive Branch
The Executive Branch is in charge of making sure our laws are obeyed by all citizens. The president is the head of this branch and makes most of the decisions which an have its good points or its bad points. The Executive Branch can reject laws with the presidential decision. The branch thru the Federal agencies has responsibility for day to day enforcement in the laws for our country. They can also declare Executive orders which are like proclamations which carry the force of the Law but can be rejected by the Judicial Branch if it is unconstitutional. 
In my mind these branches are like the roots of a tree. They can be strong when right or fragile, and get tangled and gnarled over bad decisions, even thought the government has a lot of power.

"The Executive Branch can reject laws with the presidential decision"
ReplyDeleteLegally, once a law has been passed, the Executive branch must enforce it, and has no authority to "reject" them. The President can veto a law, making it more difficult to pass. However, with a 2/3 vote, the Congress can still pass a law that the President vetos.
We currently do have a president who thinks he can pick and choose which laws to enforce. He is abusing his power.
