The Inter-Branch Rivalry in the American Government : Presidential excutive Decrees versus Congressional Legistions

Abstract

The American government is ruled by three main branches legislative, executive, and judicial .This study focuses on the executive and the legislative ones .According to the American constitution , governmental power is vested in the two previous branches .This dissertation aims at investigating the inter-branch rivalry among these branches and how it occurs through conducting a historical-descriptive analysis. In the light of this analysis ,three hypotheses have been raised: the first introducing the Powers of the Presidential Executive branch . The second tackles the process of enacting laws and the authorities given to the president. The last hypothesis mentions how inter-branch rivalry occurs between the two distinctive branches .After gathering the data of this work from the group of sources ,we found that both the Legislative and Executive branches face a kind of rivalry among their authorities .Nevertheless, it is still the role of both of them in serving the American government ,So as a result, we can say that the kind of relationship between the two is a complementary one.
