There are many ways Congress sought to limit the power of the executive branch. These are as follows:
1) Congress can override the veto of the president;
2) Congress can refuse to confirm presidential appointments;
3) Congress can impeach the president;
4) Congress can refuse to ratify presidential treaties.
make laws, veto laws, and revise laws.
The first method congress uses to oversee the executive branch is for congress to require executive agencies to submit reports to congress on their activities. Second oversight technique is for lawmakers to ask one of the congressional support agencies to study an executive agency's work and also the power of congress to appropriate money provides another means of oversight
The adjective "oversee" implies such committees would have authority over the Executive Branch. This is NOT the case. The Legislative Branch (Congress) may establish so-called "Watchdog Committees"but their activities are strictly passive - they observe and report back to Congress on their areas of concern but they do not "oversee" the Executive Branch
The executive branch is part of our Congress.

Congress is not an example of the executive branch. Congress is the legislative branch, in place to make and pass laws, while the executive branch includes the President and the bureaucracy he oversees.
The head of the executive branch can veto laws passed by congress. The head of the executive branch is the president.

Congress does not directly decide the officials in the executive branch of government. The officials in the executive branch, such as the President and various department heads, are typically appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. However, Congress does have the power to oversee and investigate the actions of these officials, and can also impeach and remove them from office if necessary.
Congress is actually not part of the executive branch of government. The executive branch is responsible for enforcing laws and is headed by the President of the United States. Congress, on the other hand, is an independent branch of government that is responsible for making laws and is made up of two chambers - the House of Representatives and the Senate.
