They probably use the check and balance system you learn about in 2nd grade.
To declare war, the President is supposed to get permission from Congress. But the President can order a "police action" that is equivalent to a war, without permission from Congress. This kills one of the "checks" Congress has over him.
It has to approve treaties made by the president.
What power does congress have over a president?
Congress has to pass a law before it goes to the President. The President can veto the law. Congress can then over rule the president with a 2/3rds majority.
it goes back to the floor branchs as the president sign over they veto- plz dont trust dis answer i dont know if its rigth-
The system of checks and balances is used to keep the government from getting too powerful in one branch. Often this represents a circular arrangement, for example:- The executive branch can veto bills from the legislative, but- The legislative can override the veto.Executive Branch1. The President is the commander-in-chief of the army and the navy, but only Congress can declare war.2. The President nominates judges.3. The President can veto congressional legislation.Legislative Branch1. Congress approves presidential nominations.2. Congress controls the budget.3. Congress can pass laws over the president's veto.4. Congress can impeach the president and remove him/her from office.5. The Senate confirms the president's nominations (for judges, etc.).Judicial Branch1. The Court can declare laws unconstitutional.2. The Court can declare presidential acts unconstitutional.
The main power the Executive Branch (the President) has to check Congress is the veto. This forces Congress to go back and evaluate the proposal and get more support for it.
The first example is how congress checks the President: congress has to approve his cabinet appointments, Supreme Court appointees, and treaties. The President checks congress by having veto power over bills that they have passed.
both executive and legislative branch checks judicial branch. Search checks and balances for more info
it allows the president to check the house of representives (HoR) and the senate. Without that, the president would be a puppet. The democratic congress before Obama was elected would have gotten so many more bills passed. Because when Congress makes a law, they send it to the president (for approval). If he doesn't approve, he can veto it, therefore it doesn't become a law UNLESS over 2/3 of Congress voted for the law. See, that is a good example because neither the president (Executive branch!) nor Congress (Legislative branch!) have too much power! :)
No, not generally. The President has no legal connection to Congress. A president whose party gets a big majority in Congress has a lot of say over Congress, but it is mo tly because of respect or of party demands. Every President has some power over Congress because of the veto and because of appointments, but when the Congress is from the opposing party, his power over them is rather limited.
Laws are acts that are signed by the president of passed by Congress over his veto.
