The United States Constitution gives the Judicial Branch of the government the power to review all laws passed by the Legislative Branch. If the Supreme Court, which is composed of nine justices appointed for life by the president, finds that a law is unconstitutional, that law can't remain on the books.
The executive check over the legislative branch is the power of vetoing laws. The executive check over the judicial branch is the power of judicial appointment -- the president can pick a judge to take the seat of a judge who leaves the supreme court.

I would argue that the Legislative branch has at least two important powers over the judicial branch: 1) the ability to approve or reject presidential nominations for judicial office; 2) the power of impeachment over federal judges and justices.
There is, an Executive, Legislative and Judicial branch.
If the legislative branch does not agree with the way in which the judicial branch has interpreted the law, they can introduce a new piece of legislation, and the process starts all over again.

the government works in the US by collecting money. Like paying bills and taxes!
The legislative Branch can check the Judicial branch in that Congress can approve the Judicial appointments, they can also impeach judges and remove them from office.
The United States Government is divided into three branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.
Judicial review is there to ensure that both the executive and legislative branches stay within the limits of their power and don't try to expand it in order to gain additional control over the government. Of course, politics are involved in all parts of government, and it doesn't always ensure that.
Judicial Power, Executive Power, and Legislative Power
Simply it means authority/power that does not originate with the legislative branch of government. In American govt. non-legislative power originates from the executive and judicial branch in the form of executive orders and judicial review respectively
