In comparison to the powers of both the legislative branch of government to the executive branch of government, one must first take a look and understand why these two main branches of government were made in the first place. What powers make up each individual form of government, why and how are they able to function separately and also, their purpose is for the people of the nation.
For the first branch of government, the legislative branch, this branch was first established in Article 1 of the Articles of Confederation. The founding fathers of the nation thus intended for this particular branch of government to be the sole form of government to be able to make and create the laws for the country. (Lenz & Holman, 2004). The Legislative branch houses two different forms of government, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representative main goals in this branch is to revenue bills, have the rights to be able to impeach the federal office officials, and also, to be able to elect the new president to office if too many electoral votes are processed (The White House, n.d.). The Senate’s power in the legislative branch is to confirm or approve any important presidential appointments that the president may have. (The White House, n.d.). Also, in the Legislative Branch of government, the legislative has powers to declare war on another country, can thus reject any of the president’s important appointments approved by the Senate, and also, can change or accept new forms of laws passed or will pass. (The White House, n.d.). In the other branch in question, the executive branch of government is the branch that not only houses the President of the United States, but the vice president as well along with the members of the cabinet, who are like the president’s advisors when it comes to either the enforcement of making new laws or the administrators of the news laws (The White House, n.d.). …show more content…
The main power that this particular branch is responsible for is that the president is the “Commander in Chief” of this branch and also is in charge of America’s Armed Forces. The president is also able to appoint and approve of any members that are elected to the U.S. Supreme Court system, and is also in charge of vetoing any bill that was approved of by Congress. (The White House, n.d.).
For these two specific types of branches, though, they differ in power because the president is the only one in charge of the executive branch of government like Congress is the only one in charge of the Legislative branch. Because of the effectiveness of the system of separation of powers, for which separates all three branches of governments and the amount of powers each one has, the president is therefore not a member of Congress and Congress is not responsible for the election of the president of the United States, for that simply relies on the people’s vote. (Lenz & Holman, 2004). In present time though, the one branch that still wields the most power in today’s society is still the Legislative branch of government. For example, the U.S. Constitution granted the legislative branch power that none of the other two branches, the executive or the judiciary, could have. The executive branch that houses the president and the judicial branch that houses the Supreme Court still have the
