ViviI always thought it was the Sheriff. He's the only law enforcement who is elected in most states.

What is a higher rank Chief Operations Officer or Vice President?
In the US government the President is higher, but in a company the CEO is the highest. In order to clarify this it should be noted that the office of CEO does not exist in the US Government. Also, in the business world a person can be both the CEO, Chief Executive Officer and President.
Why is the president called chief executive?
That is what the president does. He is the chief executive officer over all the US government workers except for those directly working for the members of Congress or employed by federal judges.
What does the chief executive do?
In United States politics. the chief executive is a synonym for president. Per division of powers outlined in the US Constitution, the executive branch is charged with enforcing the laws, making the president the nation's top law enforcement officer along with being a trend setter for policy and new laws, making suggestions and speeches to the legislature (but having no vote, save for the power to veto a law passed by said legislature). The purview of what the president can and cannot do is said to have increased in the post-9/11 world though this notion is debatable. Most notably, the president is the public relations face of the United States to the rest of the world.
How does the president enforce the laws?
The president enforces laws through the creation of law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, CIA, and even the local sheriff's department. And it may seem circular, but he uses other laws to enforce laws, and puts a "fitting" punishment to each law if broken. Actually, NO, the President cannot create any law enforcement divisions or any other such institution. It is up to Congress to create any department, and to specify which duties fall under that department's purview. It is also up to Congress to fund that department's activities. The President is responsible to see that the various law enforcement departments run smoothly. The department heads report to the President, and the President can direct those departments to concentrate on or relax enforcement of various laws (or areas of law). He is responsible (like the CEO of a large business) to see that everything is running smoothly. Federal law enforcement officials act like any other law enforcement official. They have jurisdiction in their particular area of law (that is, the area that Congress has decided that department should be responsible for), and can arrest anyone anywhere the US has sovereignty.
Who was the chief architect of the US Constitution?
All of us. It is the basic law of the land and sets the laws for all others. Without it there would not be a framework for goverment.
