The Executive Branch of the government is found in which Article of the U.S. Constitution?

• A. Article I
• B. Article IV
• C. Article II
• D. Article III

Answer: (C)

The Executive Branch is established in Article II of the Constitution. This article creates the Presidency and Vice Presidency, outlines how they are elected and the terms they serve, and defines the President’s main powers and duties—enforcing laws, serving as Commander-in-Chief, conducting foreign affairs (including treaties with the Senate’s advice and consent), and appointing federal officers and judges with Senate approval. It also covers impeachment and removal. This is distinct from Article I, which covers the legislative branch, Article III, which covers the judiciary, and Article IV, which deals with relations among states. So, for the question about where the Executive Branch is found, Article II is the correct reference.
