When Congress passes a bill and the president then uses his power of veto the bill can go through Congress again. If both houses then vote 2/3 or more the second time for the bill then it passes and becomes law.
The separation of powers in the Constitution establishes three separate branches of government, the executive, judicial, and legislative. Each has their own special powers. Checks and balances allow each of the three branches to "check" the power of the other two branches to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. The president's powers are limited by the power of the other two branches. For example: the Court can rule an action by the president as unconstitutional and the Congress can over-ride a presidential veto.
This deals with the system of Checks & Balances. The President can "check the authority of Congress" by rejecting a unconstitutional law proposed by Congress. this process is called veto.The President checks Congress when he vetoes a bill that the Congress has passed. Congress can check him if a 2/3 majority votes to override his veto.Also, the President can check Congress by using the media (the "bully pulpit") to set the agenda for Congress. Presidents also tend to have success with Congress proportional to their approval rating with the public. Thus, if a president has a high approval rating, it is likely that Congress will be willing to help him accomplish his goals.
The president is held in check by the powers of Congress and the courts.
