Judicial review. The Supreme Court can overturn laws that are passed by congress and signed by the president.
The Supreme Court holds the power of judicial review, meaning it can declare a law unconstitutional. The law would then be repealed, checking the power of congress. (see Marbury V. Madison)
There is no specific term limit for a Supreme Court justice. They are appointed for life, unless they choose to retire or are impeached.
The question of rather the Supreme Court's power of judicial review should be strictly limited by a constitutional agreement is open for debate. Some people feel that it would be a good idea because they want to limit the court's power. Others feel that the court should be able to hear the cases they want.
Chief Justice John Marshall believed judicial review was the right and responsibility of the Judicial branch of government, and that only the Judicial branch (which the US Supreme Court leads) should interpret the Constitution.
The Supreme Court
In the Judicial Branch, the Supreme Court would determine if the laws made by Congress were constitutional or lawful.
