Federal Government

The federal government is the national government of the United States.  The federal government is composed of three distinct branches including legislative, 执行, 和 judicial, whose powers are vested by the U.S. Constitution in the Congress, the president 和 federal courts, respectively.  The powers 和 duties of these branches are further defined by acts of Congress, including the creation of 执行 departments 和 courts inferior to the Supreme Court.

The federal government’s connection to the University of Denver is instrumental to preserving DU’s interests in student aid, research grant funding, immigration policy, health care policy, sustainability, social justice, criminal justice, 第九条, 和 matters of national concern such as a world p和emic.
