Congress must approve federal judge appointments
the legislative and judicial branch
The President can veto any bill that is presented to him by the Legislative branch. Also, because of judicial review the supreme court can declare bills created by the legislative to be unconstitutional.
The legislative branch checks the executive branch by overseeing the implementation of laws and approving presidential appointments. It also checks the judicial branch by confirming judicial appointments and having the power to impeach federal judges.
The Judicial branch has the power to interpret the laws, or decide if they are unconstitutional. The checks on the Judicial branch are the power of the executive branch to enforce the laws and the power of the legislative branch to make laws.
the judicial branch uses its power of judicial review to declare whether or not a law passed by the legislation is constitutional
Each and every branch can check the power of the other two. For example, the legislative checks the judicial and the executive by having the power to impeach judges and the president. The executive checks the legislative with the power of veto and it also checks the judicial by appointing federal judges. The judicial branch can rule both legislative laws and presidential actions unconstitutional. All of the branches are able to check each other by separation of powers, hence the term "checks and balances."
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.
Under checks and balances system of constitution, executive branch "checks" legislative branch through veto power. Executive branch "checks" judicial branch through appointment power (appointing judges/justices).
The Legislative Branch. The Executive Branch can either pass them or veto them, and the Judicial Branch checks that the laws abide by the rules set by the Constitution.
A=legislative branch; B= executive branch
The Executive branch checks the legislature by vetoing legislation it di disagrees with. It checks the judicial branch by being the only authority by which the judicial branch can enforce judicial decisions.
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.
