Responsibilities of the Executive Branch
Executive powers of government oversee that laws and regulations made by the judicial and legislative branches are made official, and that if these laws don't comply with a citizens' constitutional rights, the President and Vice-President may veto the law and overturn it or make alterations. The President is also responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress, and is also Commander-In-Chief of the United States Armed Forces and its operations in forward-deployed warzones and are engaged in combat.

Responsibilities of the Judicial Branch
Where the Executive and Legislative branches are elected by the people, members of the Judicial Branch are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Supreme Court has the sole power and responsibility to interpret the law accordingly and without bias, and to dispense justice truthfully and effectively.
The courts only try actual cases and controversies — a party must show that it has been harmed in order to bring suit in court. This means that the courts do not issue advisory opinions on the constitutionality of laws or the legality of actions if the ruling would have no practical effect. Cases brought before the judiciary typically proceed from district court to appellate court and may even end at the Supreme Court, although the Supreme Court hears comparatively few cases each year.

Responsibilities of the Legislative Branch
The legislative branch, where Congress and the Senate reside, are the primary source of legislation and lawmaking in the United States. The Vice-President acts as President of the Senate and may cast a decisive vote in the event of a tie in voting.
The legislative process is the introduction of a bill to Congress. Anyone can write it, but only members of Congress can introduce legislation. Some important bills are traditionally introduced at the request of the President, such as the annual federal budget. During the legislative process, however, the initial bill can undergo drastic changes.
