 The Objectives of the Study

 The author aims to analyze the concepts of legal

responsibility of the Executive power in two legal
systems of Russia and the United States. To study in
detail the constitutional foundations of the architecture
and functioning of the Executive branch of the United
States, with an emphasis on the practice of functioning
of the Cabinet of Ministers and the President of the
United States and the responsibility of high-ranking
leaders in the United States. The article also examines
the essence, legal elements and tools for implementing
state responsibility in Russia.
 Conclusion
 Comparing the organization of Executive power in the United States
and Russia, it should be said that the government as such in the
United States, unlike Russia, does not exist. In accordance with the
legislation of the Russian Federation, the state Duma of the Russian
Federation is appointed as the Chairman of the Government of the
Russian Federation. It proposes candidates for Federal Ministers to
the President, as well as determines the main directions of the
government's activities and organizes its work. The Russian
government, unlike the us Cabinet, renounces its authority to the
newly elected President of the Russian Federation. But the President
in Russia can at any time dismiss the government, change Ministers
or the Prime Minister, which is in some ways similar to the powers
and powers of the us President.
