Government
For the People, by the People | The Three Branches
The Muscogee Nation is organized, by Constitution, into three branches of government—the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches; with distinct separation of power among the three.
Executive Branch
The Executive Branch oversee the daily operations of the tribe; it includes the Offices of Principal Chief, Second Chief, Tribal Administrator, and Chief of Staff.
Legislative Branch
The Legislative Branch is comprised of the National Council of the Muscogee Nation, and oversees proposed legislation.
Judicial Branch
The Judicial Branch is divided into two branches including the Muscogee Nation District Court, and the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is the Nation’s highest court with original jurisdiction over challenges to the Constitution of the Muscogee Nation, and appellate jurisdiction over cases appealed from the District Court. The Supreme Court is the final authority on the Constitution and Laws of the Muscogee Nation.
