The executive branch is responsible for national security and defense (e.g., military operations), enforcing laws (as per its role in the government structure), appointing officials (like department secretaries), and acting as a "CEO" (leading the administrative functions). However, the power to decide which laws are legal and should be enforced lies with the judicial branch (through courts interpreting the law).
