Neither branch answers to the President. The purpose of the separation of powers was to insure that no one of the three branches had complete control over the other two. Each of the branches has some control over the others, but it is not total.

The President, or the "Executive Branch", as its called, proposes laws - which Congress (the "Legislative Branch") then can either act on or ignore.

The President nominates Supreme Court justices, who then have to be approved by the Senate, so its a big circular power exchange.... The Executive Branch has a number of ways to control the powers of Congress. There is the Presidential veto. There is the appointment of judges and other Federal officers.
