Question 46 of 128 · American Government · System of Government

The executive branch has many parts. Name one.

Accepted answers

  • President (of the United States)
  • Cabinet
  • Federal departments and agencies

Any one of these is accepted, unless the question asks for more than one.

Why this is the answer

The executive branch is more than the President. The official list accepts three parts: the President, the Cabinet, and the federal departments and agencies that do the day-to-day work, such as the Department of Justice with the FBI inside it, or the Department of Homeland Security with USCIS inside that one. Name any one of the three. Memory hook: the President at the top, the Cabinet around the table, the departments and agencies doing the work.
