Article Two of the United States Constitution creates the executive branch of the government, comprising the President and other executive officers.

Clause one is a "vesting clause," similar to other clauses in Articles One and Three, but what it vests is the power to execute the instructions of Congress which has the exclusive power to make laws; "To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof." The important distinction to be observed here between the vesting clause in Article I and the Vesting Clause seen here is that this one is Plenary (i.e. it implies the power the executive to fall in line with what other "executives" around the world at the time could do) where as the power vested in Article I is subject to the limits to be outlined in later sections.

The head of the Executive Branch is the President of the United States. The President, along with the Vice President, is elected every four years.
