Some examples that they are separate is that they all have different jobs, Congress makes laws, the president and his cabinet enforce…
When taking on the role of presidency on 1801 Jefferson was faced with a task larger than many other Presidents would have to overcome. “His party, ignoring the natural forces which tied the States together even against their wills, insisted that the legal basis of the bond was in the power of any State to withdraw at will”(Under Napoleon I. 1904, pg 7).
