Each branch of government creates a type of law. 1  Statutory law is enacted by the legislative branch; these statutes set forth the public policy that the elected legislators want to pursue. Often statutes provide general direction on how the executive branch should implement the statutory laws (public policy).
The legislative branch, including both the House and the Senate, is given extensive powers by the Constitution. The legislative branch is the only branch that can create laws or change existing laws. Once a bill is passed through the legislative branch the president must sign the bill in order for it to become a law. The executive branch does have an important check on the legislative branch when the president vetoes a law.
