46. The executive branch has many parts. Name one.

American Government · System of Government

Accepted answer(s)

  • President (of the United States)
  • Cabinet
  • Federal departments and agencies

USCIS officers ask this on the 2025 Civics Test because understanding "american government" is core to how the U.S. system works day to day. Memorize the exact answer above rather than a paraphrase — officers accept the wording USCIS publishes, and "President (of the United States)" is the safest phrasing to say out loud in the interview.

This is question 46 of the 2025 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov.
