Executive Branch of the Confederate States of Anagonia
Overview
The Executive Branch of the Confederate States of Anagonia is responsible for the administration and enforcement of Confederal laws and policies. It is headed by the President of the Confederate States, who serves as both the Chief of State and Head of Government. The Executive Branch includes the President, Vice President, and various departments, which are categorized into Senior and Junior Cabinets. These departments work together to ensure the smooth functioning of the government and the implementation of policies that affect the nation and its territories.
History
The Executive Branch was established with the formation of the Confederate States of Anagonia following the Unification Wars. Over time, the structure of the Executive Branch has evolved to include multiple levels of cabinet departments, reflecting the growing complexity of governance in the Confederacy.
The foundation for the current structure was laid during the governance of the 8th President, Rudolf Jarod Hart (1976 CE - 1981 CE), who introduced a two-level cabinet system. This system includes the Senior Cabinet, responsible for essential government functions, and the Junior Cabinet, which focuses on more specialized roles. This structure has allowed for greater efficiency and adaptability in the administration of the Confederacy's affairs.

Elaboration on the Executive Branch Structure
The Executive Branch consists of Departments of the President and Vice-President presiding at the top and overseeing all departments underneath them, within constitutional limits. The Department of the President is primarily responsible for the formation of new departments as well as the restructuring of any department within their authority. Since the governance of the 8th President of the Confederate States, President Rudolf Jarod Hart (1976 CE - 1981 CE), the Executive Branch has consisted of two levels of Cabinet Departments.
The first level of Cabinets, the Senior Cabinet, consists of Departments with multiple roles and are considered essential to the proper functioning of government and support to and for the Departments of the President and Vice President. The Senior Cabinet generally consists of one singular Department which consists of several roles. Some of the Senior Cabinets also oversee Junior Cabinet Departments.
The second level of Cabinets, the Junior Cabinet, consists of Departments with singular roles and objectives and thereby are considered not generally essential to the functioning of proper government, with the exception of Confederate Aeronautics and Space Administration (CASA) due to national security importance. Generally, the heads of these singular Cabinet Departments report to superiors in the Senior Cabinet, with the primary objective of supporting the Senior Cabinet in the functioning of everyday governance and national security.
The only exception to the rule of governance for both Senior and Junior Cabinets is that of Cabinet Departments headed by military officials. These departments are primarily governed by the authorities of the Articles of the Armed Forces of the Confederacy, and while they operate traditionally under the authority of the President, they may be sequestered by a reigning military official—elected by the Joint Assembly of Chiefs and Commanding Officers—in times of national emergency.
Senior Cabinet
The Senior Cabinet is appointed by the President with Grand Congressional Approval. Exceptions are Military Cabinets, which may be appointed by a vote of the Joint Military Assembly in times of crisis. The Senior Cabinet consists of major essential government positions. Typically, all Senior Cabinet Departments operate with a specific objective, but some Departments also lead Junior Cabinet Departments as overseeing administrators.

| Department of National Defense | Chief General Maximus Leddicus (Komodren; CSMC) | (DND) | (Includes Departments of National Intelligence, Nuclear Arms, Military Development, Homeland Security, and Space Affairs. Number Three on the Military Chain of Command) |

Junior Cabinet
The Junior Cabinet can be appointed by the President with Grand Congressional Approval, though typically with the possibility of sole Grand Congressional appointment. The only exceptions include the Military Cabinets which may be appointed by vote of the Joint Military Assembly in times of crisis.
