-create and vote on laws in the US
-it can declare war
-it can investigate power
-it can confirm Presidential appointments
-it can approve treaties
-it can create spending bills
-it can impeach government officials
The executive branch (president, vice president, presidential cabinet) enforces the law. The judicial branch (supreme and federal courts) interprets the law. State is only at state level and not at the federal level.
