The correct options are: 1) The president serves as the head of state and the commander-in-chief and 4) The president must faithfully execute the laws.

The executive branch, whose power is vested in the President, is responsible for carrying out the federal laws. And as Section 2 of Article 2 of the US Constitution states:

" he President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states when called into the actual service of the United States ( ...).

Options 2 and 3 are incorrect because it is the Legislative, consisting of the House and Senate, the branch responsible for creating laws, which later the Executive branch (the President) will enforce.
