The President checks the power of the Supreme Court by appointing Supreme Court justices and the Chief Justice (subject to Senate confirmation).
The constitution requires that supreme court justices be approved after the president nominates them by "advice and consent". Therefore, the congress can deny the candidate put forth by the president.
A couple of ideas to start with: The justices of the supreme court start out being nominated by the president. The nominees have to be cleared by the senate, but nobody gets appointed without first being nominated by the president. So the president has some considerable influence over the supreme court's makeup and philosophy, potentially, for years after his term as president ends. It depends of course on how many justices die or retire. Presidents also get to make sweeping appointments to the Federal Court system when they first take office.

Approving the choice of justices
Approving the choice of justices
The President can veto bills passed by Congress, thus checking the Legislative Branch. The President checks the judicial branch by appointing Supreme Court justices.
This depends on the office. Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States are appointed for life. Justices of the various state supreme courts serve for varying terms. In some states like California, justices serve for life, but can be voted out of office in a recall election. Some judges are appointed for fixed terms, and some are elected. Any judge can be impeached by the legislature and removed from office in the case of serious crimes or malpractice, but this is extremely rare. You will need to check the laws for the area in which you are interested.
The president appoints the justices of the Supreme Court. His decision of a justice will shape the Court for years (possibly decades) to come. Recall FDR's "Court Packing" scheme from his presidency. He threatened to appoint additional justices (hence the court packing) to counteract the conservative Court's unwillingness to support his quasi socialist policies. The Court, as a whole, was against FDR because of the ideology of members that had been appointed by conservative presidents (case in point).
Selects judges
Checks and balances is the system that allows each branch of government to limit the powers of the other branches. The Executive Branch (the president) can veto a law passed by the Congress and the Congress can veto the law too with a vote of 2/3 of both houses. The Supreme Court can check on Congress by declaring a law is unconstitutional. The power is balanced by the fact that the justices of the Supreme Court are appointed by the Executive branch. The appointments have to be approved by the Congress.
