The main job of Congress is to propose and pass our laws. <br /> Another name for Congress is the Legislature, or the <b>Legislative Branch</b>. <br /><br /> The <b>Executive Branch</b> consists of the President and the departments that help run the government. The Executive Branch makes sure the law is carried out.
Congress has an important role in national defense, including the exclusive power to declare war, to raise and maintain the armed forces, and to make rules for the military. Some critics charge that the executive branch has usurped Congress's constitutionally defined task of declaring war.
