As per the Constitution, the Executive branch’s power is vested in the president. He has control of all executive departments, bureaus and offices in that branch of government. Through the department of the budget he presents to Congress an appropriations bill which contains a budget of expenditures and sources of financing. He is also commander-in-chief of the armed forces and can make treaties with foreign countries subject of course to the concurrence of the Senate.

The chief executive of our country is also the chief magistrate through the Department of Justice who can persecute anyone. He is the chief financial officer who is in charge of financing development, the top military officer who can wage war and enter into negotiations with foreign countries with the consent of Congress and he is basically the chief architect of the nation’s foreign policy.
