By Paul Brock, Church Militant - In Article Two of the U.S. Constitution, the president is declared to have the "executive power" in the nation. One of the three branches of government, the executive branch is made up of the president, vice president and the cabinet. It bears responsibility for enforcing the laws of the land... The Constitution also stipulates in the first section of the 14th Amendment, "Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law."
