What is the power given to each branch over each other called in the constitution?
checks and balances. That is, there are three branches of government. The Legislative Branch is congress (House and Senate)...they write laws. The Executive Branch is the President and his cabinet. The president signs or vetoes the laws that Congress creates. The Judicial Branch, which is the Supreme Court, interprets the laws created by Congress and signed by the President. The Congress are elected by the people of the land. So is the President. However, the Supreme court justices are selected by the president, and voted into their positions by congress, after a process of examination by the Congress. Checks and balances exists so that no one branch of government has all the power. The Congress makes laws but cannot make them INTO law, without the President's signature. The president can sign bills into law, but he has no power to create laws (unless he practices "Executive Order" which every president has done since the first: Abraham Lincoln made a law about eliminating slavery, WITHOUT congressional approval) the Supreme Court hears cases where the laws of the United States are exercised. They decide what is the just application of the laws created by the Congress and signed by the President. The Congress doesn't apply the law, and neither does the President.
Which enumerated power of congress do you think is most closely related to the broad but vague executive powers of the president?
The power of Congress to make laws and the power of the president to execute laws are closely related. The enumerated power of Congress to legislate and establish laws can be seen as parallel to the broad executive power of the president to enforce and execute those laws. Together, they form a system of checks and balances that allows both branches to have a role in the governance of the country.

What power does the president share with the senate?
The job of the president is to enforce the laws. The job of Congress is to legislate laws. Together they do the business of the government. The president doesn't share power with congress, but has his own duties. Congress checks his power by not passing laws, not approving appointments, approving the budget or not, and he needs approval of congress to declare war. Constitution tries to make a balance of power between the branches. Sometimes one branch will try to gain more power from other branches. Watergate changed the office of the president and it's power.

The U.S. Congress passes bills that become Federal Laws when the U.S. President signs them (although there are cases in which Congress can make a bill into a law without the President's approval), and each state Congress passes bills that become state laws when the Governor of the state signs them.
The President can veto laws passed in Congress true or false?
Yes, he can veto laws passed in Congress, but then Congress can vote again, and if they get a sufficient number of votes, can override the president's veto.
