Seven executive departments, which are overseen by members of the Cabinet, carry out the day-to-day administration of the government.

The Executive Office of the President (EOP) consists of the immediate staff to the President, like the Chief of Staff, Senior Advisor, Press Secretary and more.

The President can issue executive orders, which direct executive officers or clarify and further existing laws.
