JordanThe exucutive branch is the branch that "executes" laws. The legislative branch "makes" laws and the judicial branch rules on the constitutionality or legality of laws that are challenged.
So when you say "passes" there are several places that the term passes could be used. The law has to pass a series of votes in the legislative branch. The law has to pass a judicial review if that takes place and finally the executive branch can be selective in its "execution" of the the law by passing over the law or by passing the law on to be enforced.
