Information

The role of the executive branch is to enforce and implement laws passed by the legislative branch.

The leader of the executive branch is the president of the United States.

The executive branch checks the legislative and judicial branches by implementing and enforcing laws passed by the legislative branch and by appointing judges to the judicial branch.

The powers of the executive branch include enforcing laws, appointing officials, administering programs, making foreign policy, and serving as commander-in-chief of the military.

An executive order can overrule a law, but it can be challenged in court if it is believed to be unconstitutional or illegal.

Disobeying an executive order can result in legal consequences, such as fines or imprisonment, depending on the nature of the order and the circumstances of the disobedience.

It is not illegal to disobey an executive order, but it can result in legal consequences and may be considered a violation of the law.

Executive orders are handled by the executive branch of government, specifically by the president or other high-ranking officials.

The three types of executive orders are proclamations, executive orders, and presidential memoranda.

An executive order can be overridden by a court ruling or by legislation passed by Congress.
