The three branches of the U.S. government are the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Each branch has its own distinct responsibilities to ensure that the government runs efficiently. The U.S. Constitution established the three branches of government, but it does not specify exactly how they should interact with each other. The President of the United States is the only person in the government who serves in all three branches of government.
