Essay: Legislative and executive powers in the US

Both the House of Representatives and the President of the United States are
connected in a way that Congress can only run when it has a President and the President
can only do his/her own duties as long as the House of Representatives is there to correct
or accept the changes to any new laws. When searching for information about these two
powerful roles of legislation in our country, I kept coming across the saying “two shared
powers, but both different roles.” The President of the United States, whom soon may be
Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump, have the abilities to be chief of the military, rule maker
or breaker of economic downfall or uprisings, and will be in deep relation with foreign
nations. With the help of the House of Representatives, they help keep the President
grounded, more saying they help him/her from becoming a dictator. So any law that
wants to be passed by the President, shall go through Congress in order to be passed.
As our White House has three equal parts of government in it, the main house that
makes up the most importance is The House of Representatives or also known as
Congress. It is the only branch in our government that can pass or change new or already
existing laws. Though there may be some regulations to the extent of Congress’ power,
they carry most of the say with the do’s and don’ts that occur, because like I stated, this
branch of government is pretty high up there in deciding what can and cannot occur, like
when to deem in necessary to break curtain rules in the safety of our country or when to
levy tax and tariffs to provide the essential funding that our country needs. If anything
goes wrong within congress, in meaning working against them or creating criminal acts,
they will be investigated by congress and could face imprisonment. Showing as Congress
holds the main power to declare war or not, this proves they are like the president when it
comes to holding high power, which is why its best these two work together.
It may seen that the President of the United States may not have an infinite
amount of power as everyone thought he did, but he is our sole care taker of the place we
get to call America, the place many immigrants and outsiders want to come to in order to
feel safe, free, and taken care of. Our President has many jobs and Congress being there
as a referee is just a roadblock, and even the constitution helps state that it’s a high
demanding job the exceed the expectations many Americans hold for him/her. The
President of the U.S is our chief of state, a man/woman who celebrates on every special
occasion and becomes a living, breathing superhero that holds a high honor in the eyes of
every American Citizen. The President is also our chief of staff that is in charge of our
armed forces, meaning he chooses where they go, when they go and makes sure these
admirals and chiefs receive every order. Amongst these presidential duties, the President
also speaks with foreign relations on every direction of the map, his duties are to make
sure were all in alliance and have each others backs, along with that is deciding our
population and economic futures, he decides pretty much every aspect.
Both these political powers are in the hands of the government but basically are
the only two that run it. The President and congress must work together to create laws
and make decisions to keep the best of faith in the American people and any future
success it may hold. Without these two branches, we wouldn’t have order and rules, it
would all just be a giant mess!
