Dept of Treasary, War, State and Justice as I recall but I am looking the information up as I am typing by looking at a book that was written about "Alexander Hamiiton" by Ron Chernow. Great book by the way on page 286 it names Of the first people in President's Washington's Cabinet here they are  as I read them.\n\n  (1) Alexander Hamilton ---The Dept of Treasury\n\n\n  (2) Thomas Jefferson   ---The Dept of State\n\n\n  (3) Henry  Knox      ----- The Dept of War\n\n\n  (4) Edmund Randolph  -----   The Attorney General \n                            Head of the Dept of Justice \n \n    The President.\n\n     Vice-President.\n  \n      The Cabinet\n \n    \n           In 1789 all that was set up anywhere on paper \n\nfor the execeutive branch was in the Constitution..\n\n            The Cabinet was somewhat done on the fly by \n\n  President Washington.  He knew that he was in need of a\n\n Brillant minds as he didnot have a formal education.\n\n What Washington lacked in education he more than made up\n\nfor in Strenght of Integteity , Sound Judgement.\n\n     Judgement, Kindness, Manners, Good Behavior ,at all \n\ntimes not just when it suits someone or when someone wants\n\nsomething .And that is the only time the behavior is good!\n\n  Somehow Washington learned "The GOLDEN RULE" . lived is \n\nlife like that it worked ,  Why know one has never tried to\n\n Copy those traits! Be a Stand up Person. Both Sexes.\n\n \n   I am sure that parents,teenage,college students and \n \n the press all were saying "NO ROLE MODELS" TOO MUCH RUM"\n\n      READ A BOOK   START NOW    ON WASHINGTON

The executive branch of government and business has always been where the buck stops and has been responsible for ensuring that laws are carried out. Committees have never been good at solving problems that require immediate action. The folks that wrote the constitution recognized this and created the executive branch--it is where the rubber meets the road. The executive branch is chartered to carry out what the House/Congress creates. Plus defend and protect the constitution of the United States.

Headed by Herbert Hoover, former President of the United States, the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government was established in accordance with P. L.80-162, approved July 7, 1947. It was created by unanimous vote of Congress in July 1947, and submitted a series of reports to Congress. The Lodge-Brown Act, which brought the commission into being, conceived of its mission as being bipartisan. Therefore it had six members from each party. Four Commissioners each were chosen by the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and President Truman. The Commission members consisted of Herbert Hoover, Chairman; Dean Acheson, Vice Chair; Arthur S. Flemming; James Forrestal; George H. Mead; George D. Aikin; Joseph P. Kennedy; John L. McClellan; James K. Pollock; Clarence J. Brown; Carter Manasco; and James H. Rowe, Jr.\n\n\n\nSeriously now, you can use a search engine! It's OK! \nAlso, you are POSTING this on a search engine..wow.

strong; The powers of Congress are enumerated in several places in the Constitution.  The most important listing of congressional powers appears in Article I, Section 8 (see left) which identifies in seventeen paragraphs many important powers of Congress.  The last paragraph of Article I, Section 8 grants to Congress the power "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers"--the "Necessary and Proper Clause."  The proper interpretation of the Necessary and Proper Clause was the subject of a heated debate between such important figures as Alexander Hamilton (who argued that the clause should be read broadly to authorize the exercise of many implied powers) and Thomas Jefferson (who argued that "necessary" really meant necessary).  Hamilton's more flexible interpretation makes possible a strong central government, whereas Jefferson's narrower interpretation strengthens states' rights.

Alexander Hamilton of New York and Virginians Thomas Jefferson and James Madison worked out a compromise that permitted southern Members to support assumption of the national dept, if northern Members did not block the effort to locate the permanent seat of government on the Potomac River. Congress had been deadlocked over the issue of funding the national dept. Most northern states wanted the federal government to assume the states' debts, while most southern states opposed assumption.

Actually, this is not George Washington. He was the first under the current constitution. However, there were 7 before him under the Articles of Confederation (they had the title: President of the United States in Congress Assembled). The first was John Hanson from November 5, 1781 until November 3, 1782. Under the articles, these guys had very little power, so we don't hear much about them.

Washington, D.C., is the capital city of the United States of America. "D.C." stands for the "District of Columbia", the federal district containing the city of Washington. The city is named after George Washington, military leader of the American Revolution and the first President of the United States. The District of Columbia and the city of Washington are coextensive and are governed by a single municipal government, so for most practical purposes they are considered to be the same entity. However, although there is a municipal government and a mayor, as per Article I, Section VIII, of the United States Constitution, Congress has the sole authority over this federal district. It is commonly known as the District, D.C., or simply Washington. Historically, it was called the Federal City or Washington City.

This is such a complicated question.  You ask much.\nSimply the founding fathers tried to create a system that would prevent any one man from declaring himself king, so they set up the 3 branches to create checks and balances hoping to keep extreme people from taking us in a bad direction and if that happened to provide a way to get back to balance.\n\nThe Pres does make foreign policy and if he is only willing to believe the things he wants to believe we get the Katrina foreign policy disaster we have now.  In theory congress can check him but until now they have just been Yes men and gone along using pack mentality.\nThings should get very interesting this winter. Stay tuned.
