Answer: The executive official that are most closely associated with lawmaking is the Legislative Branch.
Explanation:
The Legislative Branch consists of 16 standing (or permanent) committees; the House of Representatives has 22. Each specializes in specific areas of legislation: foreign affairs, defense, banking, agriculture, commerce, appropriations and other fields.
Every bill introduced in either house is referred to a committee for study and recommendation. The committee may approve, revise, kill or ignore any measure referred to it. It is nearly impossible for a bill to reach the House or Senate floor without first winning committee approval. In the House, a petition to discharge a bill from a committee requires the signatures of 218 members; in the Senate, a majority of all members is required. In practice, such discharge motions only rarely receive the required support.

The Portuguese were among the first Europeans to explore the
seas beyond Europe. Henry the Navigator urged his father, King John I, to
conquer the port of Ceuta in Northern Africa. He also sponsored the development
of the Caravel, a sailing ship that is lighter and faster than most ships at
that time. Use of caravels enabled sailors to travel further and with more
provisions, and the light draft enabled Portuguese sailors to explore shallow
rivers and waters. He also sponsored explorations to Madeira, Azores, and West
Coast of Africa.
