executive branch ethics

The executive branch of government, led by the President and their administration, is responsible for executing and enforcing laws. Ethics in this context refers to the standards and principles that guide the behavior and decision-making of officials. This includes avoiding conflicts of interest, maintaining transparency, and upholding integrity. Ethical conduct ensures that leaders act in the public's best interest, fostering trust in government. Various laws, such as the Hatch Act and executive orders, establish guidelines to promote ethical behavior and accountability among those in power, preventing corruption and misuse of authority.
