In a presidential government like the United States, all power is distributed among three branches: legislative, judicial, and executive. This is called the separation of powers. The Constitution talks about the separation of powers among the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Articles I, II, and III declare the separation of powers among those three branches. The separation of powers was designed not to take away power from the government, but to spread it out evenly among all parts of it.
