Samara Johns · Answer 2

D

Explanation:

The executive branch is the President of the United States. The President cannot rule for life (in the way a king does). He also cannot enforce his will except in cases where the Constitutions gives him that capacity, as no one is above the law. Moreover, his power is regulated through the system of checks and balances and the division of power. All of these protections are present in the Constitution and they protect the rule of law in the executive branch.
