President doesn't have judicial power. Only the judicial branch has that power.
Each branch checks the power of the other branches to make sure that the power is balanced between them.
The Constitution Says Specifically: The Tenth amendment lists that the government only has certain powers that are listed in the constitution. The president only has the power to VETO (deny) a law or pass on a law. The other branches only have powers similar to what the president has to do. Basically the government has to pass laws for the people to follow that is all constitutional.
The president shares his or her power with the other branches of government, which is part of a system known as checks and balances. The legislative, judicial, and executive are the three branches of government.
they help congress check the powers of the other two branches

They can do things that limits the two other branches' powers. For example, if a President vetoes a bill, Congress can override it if they gets a 2/3 vote.
The separation of powers in the Constitution establishes three separate branches of government, the executive, judicial, and legislative. Each has their own special powers. Checks and balances allow each of the three branches to "check" the power of the other two branches to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. The president's powers are limited by the power of the other two branches. For example: the Court can rule an action by the president as unconstitutional and the Congress can over-ride a presidential veto.
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.
President doesn't have judicial power. Only the judicial branch has that power.
No it does not, that is why there is a separation of powers this makes a balance and doesn't allow one to have more power than the other.
Federalism, created in the United States Constitution, is the dividing and sharing of powers between a central (national) government and local (states) government. The Constitution created a government with three branches, the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. Each branch has it own powers but it also has powers in order to check the power of the other two branches and to share powers with the other two branches. Example: the Congress can pass a law, the President can veto or sign the bill into law, and the Supreme Court may declare the law unconstitutional.
In the government: the executive branch (president), legislative branch (house and senate), and judicial branch (supreme court), all have powers that balance that powers of the other branches out, so that one of them can't gain too much power.
The US constitution is designed to precisely limit the powers of the President as well as the powers of the other branches of government. The system of checks and balances prevents one group from seizing all the power. The fact that the president must stand for election after four years keeps him in check.
The separation of powers is the practice we use in the US national government to divide the national government's powers between the three branches (executive, legislative, judicial) so that the national government cannot abuse its powers. Each branch has certain powers and is able to "check" the other branches' powers to keep the three branches equal or "balanced". This system is known as the system of checks and balances and it is used to guarantee the separation of powers.
The Framers believed that separation of powers and checks and balances were essential to protect the rights of the people. They had to decide which powers to give to each of the branches of the national government, and how to give each branch ways to check the powers of the other branches. Today we will learn about the problems the Framers had in deciding how much power to give to the executive and judicial branches. We will also learn how they provided ways these branches could check the power of the legislative branch. Finally we will learn about the special system they established for the election of the President.
