In the United States, the Senate has to approve all nominations by a simple majority. This means that nominations can be blocked by a filibuster unless there is also a filibuster-proof majority (60%), but the President can also temporarily make appointments without approval if Congress is in recess (though the Senate still has to approve it before the end of the *next* session, or it will be nullified).
Congress can impeach the President if he commits a major crime. Congress can override the President's vetoes and Congress must approve of the President's nominations to federal positions, like federal judges.
