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).
By appointing Article III federal judges to the Judicial Branch, and by granting pardons (may not grant a pardon for an impeachment).
Congress may impeach an official from the judicial branch, or the executive branch, for abusing their power. However, the judicial branch holds the trial.
In the United States, the US Supreme Court can determine that a bill passed by the US Congress and signed into law by the President, may be unconstitutional. Thus overturning the law.
The executive branch checks the judicial branch by choosing which judges are able to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. The President chooses who becomes a Justice of the Supreme Court. The President is also able to veto bills proposed by Congress if he disagrees with it. The judicial branch has the power of judicial review and is able to decide which laws are constituional and which are not. If they are not, they can nullify them. The legislative branch checks the other branches by agreeing or disagreeing to their choices. If the President wants to do something, he has to get it passed by Congress first. Congress also has a voice in who becomes a Justice of the Supreme Court. I may be missing some details.
Because courts may declare acts to be unconstitutional
By the power of nomination, the president may nominate federal court justices who are then approved by the senate.
Some checks and balances the Executive branch has on the other branches are: Over the Legislative branch: The President must approve of legislation the Legislative Branch has passed before that legislation becomes effective. If the President vetoes that legislation, the Legislative Branch may still pass the legislation, but it now must be by a majority of 2/3 of each house of Congress, instead of the usual simple majority. Another is that while Congress passes the laws, it is the Executive Branch that carries them out. Without the Executive branch's co-operation, the actions of the Legislative branch might not have any effect. Over the Judicial Branch: The President is the one who chooses the people who are to be the judges and justices of the Judicial Branch. In addition, the Executive Branch through its police power is the branch which enforces the judgments of the Judicial branch. Again, without the co-operation of the Executive Branch, the actions of the Judicial Branch might have no effect.
The Judicial branch has what is known as Judicial Review, which means the Judicial Branch may invalidate laws made by the Legislative branch and executive orders made by the Executive branch that it determines is unconstitutional.
Well, those "powers" are branches of the government in America. Each branch has the power to perform checks and balances on the other branches. The judicial branch has the power to declare laws made by the executive branch (the president) and the legislative branch (congress) unconstitutional. But in turn the legislative and executive branches both have their own checks to use against the judicial branch.
The Judicial Branch may declare laws related to cases before the courts unconstitutional.
The judicial branch checks the legislative branch by declaring if the laws made by the legislative branch are unconstitutional.The executive also checks the legislative branch because it can veto a legistaltion.Hope this actually helps you:)
The Congress can overturn the judicial branch. If the Judiciary decides that a law is unconstitutional, the congress can vote to restore the constitutionality of a bill, or they can change the original law to make it valid once more.
