Executive power wields significant influence over legislative outcomes, as the executive branch can propose, veto, or negotiate legislation. The President or prime minister often uses their authority to prioritize specific policies, shaping the legislative agenda. They may also employ executive orders to effectuate changes without legislative approval, allowing for rapid implementation of their vision. This concentrated power can affect the balance between the branches of government, potentially leading to conflicts with the legislature. The dynamics of executive power highlight the complexities of governance and the importance of maintaining a functional relationship between the branches to ensure democratic accountability.
