The traditional system of the United States federal government consists of the Congress, the Executive, and the Courts.

Congress and the President will often delegate their authority to agencies that are tasked with performing specific government functions and objectives. Because the number of government agencies is so voluminous and vast, a large body of agency law has emerged.
