The White House

President's Cabinet
The President's Cabinet -- the Department Secretaries and the federal agencies they run -- administer our nation's federal programs, from agriculture policy to veterans' affairs.
EOP Offices & Agencies
The White House offices and agencies make up the Executive Office of the President. These offices help develop and implement the policy and programs of the President.
Branches of the Government
The American system of government is established by the United States Constitution, which provides for three separate but equal branches of government -- legislative, executive, and judicial. Together, these branches make, execute, and interpret the laws that govern our country. Because each branch has both individual and shared powers, no one branch has more authority than the other two, and each is accountable to the others. This "checks and balances" system means that the balance of power in our government remains steady.
