How to use executive in a sentence?

1. President Barack Obama:

   And, you know, I am confident that any president who gets elected will be knowledgeable enough about foreign policy and knowledgeable enough about the traditions and precedents of presidential power that they won't start calling to question the capacity of the executive branch of the United States to enter into agreements with other countries.

2. Lindsay Nielsen:

   I think the culture in Albany and in that administration has always been that way, so I know there's a lot of information coming out right now and obviously in the past couple of weeks, but to those of us that were working in Albany and I'm sure those that were in the executive chamber and his staff and his administration, I know to a lot of us that dealt with that side of it, this isn't new stuff, you know what I mean? A lot of people knew him and his staff for this toxic culture in these situations and, I guess we didn't have the same view that the public maybe had with him.

Congress needs to fix this problem. This is not a state issue. This is not a presidential executive order issue. This is Congress not having control.
