The President of the United States is in charge of which branch of government?

What does this answer mean?

The president is in charge of the executive branch. The executive branch carries out and enforces the laws that Congress passes.

Article II of the Constitution says the executive power belongs to the president. The president leads a large part of the federal government, including the vice president, the Cabinet, and the federal departments and agencies.

The president's job includes signing or vetoing bills, enforcing laws, serving as Commander in Chief of the military, making treaties with the approval of two-thirds of the Senate, and nominating federal judges and other officials. Several of these powers are questions of their own on the test.

The other two branches are separate. Congress, the legislative branch, writes the laws, and the courts, the judicial branch, explain them and settle disputes about them. Keeping these jobs apart is the separation of powers.

At the interview, say "the executive branch." Executive comes from execute, which means to carry out.
