Question 3 • FL-2106020-M/J Civics Advanced Q2 Teacher-Led Remediation

Which of the following BEST explains the difference between the executive departments and the Executive Office of the President?

Answer
A
The Executive Office of the President mainly advises and supports the president’s decision making, while the executive departments are charged with administering programs and enforcing laws instituted by Congress.
B
The Executive Office of the President is charged with enforcing the laws instituted by Congress, while the executive departments are responsible for providing current information to the president.
C
The Executive Office of the President is responsible for drafting bills to send to Congress, while the executive departments are charged with enforcing the laws once Congress passes them.
D
The Executive Office of the President advises the president in his decision making, while the executive departments write laws and send them to the president to sign.

Explanation

The Executive Office of the President includes staff and agencies that help the president make decisions and manage the presidency. Executive departments, such as the Department of State or Department of Justice, carry out government programs and enforce laws passed by Congress. Therefore, choice A correctly describes the difference; the other choices incorrectly assign law enforcement or lawmaking duties.
