Question 46: The executive branch has many parts. Name one.
Official answers (any one counts)
USCIS accepts any of these answers. If the question asks for more than one, give as many as it asks.
- President (of the United States)
- Cabinet
- Federal departments and agencies
Grandpa explains
The executive branch enforces laws: the President, the Cabinet, and the agencies. Congress and courts are other branches, kiddo.

These are the common mix-ups. The app uses them as traps so you practice.
- Supreme Court
- Senate
- House of Representatives
