There is a system of checks and balances. All the authority for the government is enumerated or eliminated by what is in the Constitution. The Legislative branch (House of representatives and Senate) makes the laws; the Executive breach (headed by the President) executes and enforces the laws; the Judiciary branch (headed by the Supreme Court) rules on case if crimes and civil disputes, and rules on whether some laws, or their applications violate the Constitution. Each of the three branches are affected by actions of the other two.
The Constitution cannot be changed. The rules an provisions may be amended from time to time for clarification, but only so long as the amendment is not in direct conflict with the original intent of the founding document. If an amendment is in conflict with a rule or principle expressed in the Constitution it is unconstitutional, and therefore null and void from the time of its passage.
It is written in the Constitution of United States of America in the Section I of the Article II that the Executive Department is consisted of the President, Vice President, and Cabinet members.
