The chief executive (president) is chosen independently of the legislature, which holds office for a fixed term, and has broad powers not subject to the direct control of the legislative branch.

There are three branches of government; the legislative which is the congress, the judicial which are the courts, and the executive which is the president. The powers of each branch must be balanced so that no one branch gets too much powers. The congress elects and can remove the president. The president must approve the laws passed by congress. The president also selects the judges of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court interprets the laws passed by congress.
There are checks and balances within the three branch government. The checks and balances the Legislative Branch has are : they have to approve appointments of Supreme Court Justices.
[JUDICIAL BRANCH] They can also override a veto. (a president can veto a bill which is a rejection to the law.)
[EXECUTIVE BRANCH] The checks and balances of the Executive Branch are: can veto bills( reject a law )
[LEGISLATIVE BRANCH]. Can nominate Supreme Court Justices
[JUDICIAL BRANCH]. The checks and balances of the Judicial Branch: can reject laws that are unconstitutional.
[LEGISLATIVE BRANCH] can reject treaties that are unconstitutional.
With Checks and balances. All three branches of government have the power to check the other branches so that no one branch becomes too powerful.
Powers can be distributed evenly, unfairly, or just plain in the middle. Federal is not an unlimited supply of whatever your heart desires. You have rules and regulations that keep you from being in trouble with the government. Unitary is a central authority. There is no power distributed whatsoever. i.e. Socialism, Communists, and Totalitarian governments. Confederation is a blunt government. It is similar to an Anarchy government. There really is no government.
No a constitution form a frame work within which a government can wield power.
There are different types of "federal government" and the distribution of power varies. It may be divided between a central government and several local governments. In the US model, it is divided between three branches of government, those being the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial branches.they are divided between a central government and several local governments
In a Parliamentary government, the Executive branch is made up of the Prime Minister or Premier, and that official's cabinet. The Prime Minister and Cabinet are themselves members of the legislative branch, the Parliament.
