Which article deals with the executive branch?

• A. Article I
• B. Article II
• C. Article III
• D. Article IV

Answer: (B)

The executive branch is defined in Article II. This part of the Constitution establishes the Presidency and the Vice Presidency, outlines who can hold office, and sets the powers and duties of the President—such as serving as Commander in Chief, negotiating treaties (with Senate approval), appointing federal officers (also with Senate confirmation), delivering the State of the Union, and vetoing or signing legislation. It also includes impeachment provisions, describing how a president can be removed from office.

In contrast, Article I covers the legislative branch (Congress), Article III covers the judiciary, and Article IV addresses relations between states and the obligations to citizens. That’s why Article II is the one that deals with the executive branch.
