The executive branch of government includes the president, the vice president, and all federal agencies. The president is the “top dog” of the executive branch, and has lately (over the years) become the ultimate leader of the entire executive branch. This includes the agencies and the vice president.
The vice president is simply for the president’s advice and if the president cannot perform such duties. So if the President dies the vice president takes over their office.
The president’s Agencies are branches of government that are appointed to help enforce laws in the federal government. These are things such as the department of education or environmental protection agency. The president has power over these agencies and can enforce them however they see fit.
The president is also in charge of military. The president has the power to move troops but not to declare war. The president has control over all military groups. These are groups such as the National Guard, the Navy, the Army, the Marines, the Air Force, and any other military groups.
The executive branch has always wanted more power within the federal government. Lately this has started to happen. The agencies are under complete power of the president. This makes it possible for the president to enforce new regulations for education or new environmental funding.
With new laws passed during this presidential term I believe that the executive branch has leaped above the other branches. Changing rules so they in fact do have some powers. Preemptive strike, this allows the president without the permission of congress to move the troops to another country if they are going to attack us first. This is basically declaring war. And declaring war was something that the commander in chief shouldn't have the power to do.

What specific laws were past during the current presidential term have given this branch more power?
Wasn't preemptive strike a one time deal?
The patriot act was passed and gave a signifigant ammount of power to the executive branch.
