The Executive Branch

The job of the executive branch is to carry out the laws that the legislative branch passes. It contains the president. But the president is only the head of the executive branch the executive branch is the largest branch of our government!

Departments are the main organizations in the executive branch. There are 15 departments, and each one focuses on a specific type of activity such as education, transportation, defense, or energy.

Each department has smaller agencies that do specific jobs. For example, the Department of Justice (DOJ) operates our justice system and works to prevent crime. Two agencies inside the DOJ are the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

The Department of Defense (DoD) is the biggest department. It includes all the military departments such as the Army, Navy, and Air Force,

The president appoints a secretary to lead each department. (But the head of the Department of Justice is called the Attorney General (AG)). These department heads make up the president’s cabinet, which acts as a group of advisors to the president.

Executive agencies enforce the law when someone isn’t following it. The rules the executive branch makes about how the law will be carried out are called regulations

the federal government is the nation’s largest employer, and most of those jobs are in the executive branch.

Total Federal personnel 4,403,000 people employed in 2013
