Who is in charge of the executive branch?

  1. President

  2. Vice President

  3. Secretary of State

  4. Chief Justice

The correct answer is: President

The President is in charge of the executive branch which is responsible for enforcing the laws of the land. While the Vice President is second in command and assists the President, they do not hold the ultimate authority of the executive branch. The Secretary of State, on the other hand, is part of the President's cabinet and helps advise on foreign policies, but does not have direct control over the executive branch. The Chief Justice is a member of the judicial branch and is responsible for interpreting and upholding the laws made by the executive branch. So, while the Chief Justice is an important figure, they are not in charge of the executive branch. Therefore, the best answer is the President.
