The president can check congress by what power?
This deals with the system of Checks & Balances. The President can "check the authority of Congress" by rejecting a unconstitutional law proposed by Congress. this process is called veto.The President checks Congress when he vetoes a bill that the Congress has passed. Congress can check him if a 2/3 majority votes to override his veto.Also, the President can check Congress by using the media (the "bully pulpit") to set the agenda for Congress. Presidents also tend to have success with Congress proportional to their approval rating with the public. Thus, if a president has a high approval rating, it is likely that Congress will be willing to help him accomplish his goals.
How could the powers be checked by one of the other branches?
The president can veto bills passed by Congress. Congress can override a presidential veto. The president nominates Supreme Court Justices. The Supreme Court can rule laws passed by Congress unconstitutional. The Congress must approve Court appointments and treaties signed by the president. Congress can impeach and try the president. Each branch of the United States government has an equal amount of power. Congress has the power to make laws (legislative branch). However the president has the power to veto the laws made by Congress (executive branch). Then so the president doesnt have complete control over the law's fate Congress can veto the president's veto with a mandatory two thirds vote to over turn the presidents veto. Finally the Supreme Court makes the decision of whether the law is constitutional or not. Should they find it unconstitutional they can scrap it or send it back to Congress. This is known as the system of checks and balances.

Explain what authority does Congress have to check the power of the Executive Branch?
Congress has the authority to pass laws. If the President vetoes the proposed law, Congress has the authority to override the veto by a 2/3 vote, and the law takes affect anyway. The House of Representatives has the authority to impeach any government officer from President on down, and the Senate acts as a jury to determine if the officer should be removed from office. For an amendment to the US Constitution, the Congress must pass it by 3/4 majority vote, after which the proposed amendment is sent to the States for ratification by their legislatures. Neither the President nor the Governors of the various states have any role to play in this process.
