Rare card · No. 72889

The executive is the part of the government that executes and enforces law and policy. The powers of the executive may be divided and vary depending on the specific government office. In parliamentary systems, the executive is usually called the 'government' (the legislature and judiciary are therefore not branches of the government), the top level of which is the cabinet or council of ministers lead by a prime minister, while in congressional systems the executive is one branch of the government, with executive power usually vested in the president.
