Webster's 1828 Dictionary
EXECUTIVE
a.egzec'utive. Having the quality of executing or performing; as executive power or authority; an executive officer. Hence, in government, executive is used in distinction from legislative and judicial. The body that deliberates and enacts laws, is legislative; the body that judges, or applies the laws to particular cases, is judicial; the body or person who carries the laws into effect, or superintends the enforcement of them, is executive. It is of the nature of war to increase the executive, at the expense of the legislative authority.
EXECUTIVE
n.The officer, whether king, president or other chief magistrate, who superintends the execution of the laws; the person who administers the government; executive power or authority in government. Men most desirous of places in the executive gift, will not expect to be gratified, except by their support of the executive.
