The United States Constitution includes rigid separation of powers, simultaneously counteracted by a system of checks and balances. The American president as chief executive can influence courts through their selection of nominees based on political leanings. That being said this power in turn is checked and can be negated by the Senate's authority to deny confirmation of judicial nominees.

∙ 10y agoThe only real influence the president has over the courts is his power to nominate justices to the Supreme Court. He can choose to nominate justices with political leanings he agrees with, meaning they would be more likely to pass laws he agrees with. However, his nominees must be interviewed and approved by Congress, so the president does not have unbridled power over the Supreme Court.
