How can the legislative branch refuse to approve supreme court nominees?
They talk about it in a committee, then vote 'No'. This is a part of the checks and balances in the US Constitution that prevent the Executive branch from gaining too much power.
What are the important powers of the Legislative Branch?
The important powers of the Legislative Branch are that the Congress can appropriate funds, impeach the president, can override veto, can impeach judges, can reject appointment of judges, and they can reject presidential appointments and refuse to approve treaties. They definitely have a lot of power! The Congress consists of two houses; the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives has 425 voting members, and the Senate consists of 100 senators, two from each state. So, overall, Congress's two primary functions are to make the nation's laws and to control government spending. They sure do obtain a lot of power! I hope that answers that question...I'm learning about this in school right now! KE, 13 years old.

How does each branch of the government check the other two branches?
The separation of powers into three branches of government involves a checks and balances system in order to express the separation and equality of power. Here are some examples: Executive Branch ---> Legislative Branch: can veto any bill of law, propose a law, or call special sessions Executive Branch ---> Judicial Branch: appoints justices to Supreme Court, grants pardons Judicial Branch ---> Legislative Branch: can declare laws unconstitutional Judicial Branch ---> Executive Branch: declare executive orders unconstitutional, are appointed to the Supreme Court for life Legislative Branch ---> Executive Branch: can override presidential vetoes, can impeach the president, budget control, ratifies treaties Legislative Branch ---> Judicial Branch: confirms presidential appointments, can impeach federal judges, established courts and set number of judges
How does the legislature branch control the powers of the president?
The President exists to execute the laws that the legislative branch passes. If the legislative branch chooses not to pass a law that would give the President a power over something he wants, then he does not have that power. If the President does something that is not expresssly forbidden by existing law, Congress can pass a law that does expressly forbid him/her from doing it. If the President wanted a particular type of law passed, like a tax cut, Congress could refuse to do it because only Congress can authorize a tax cut. Also, Congress is the branch that appropriates money to be used by the President to do things. This is called the "power of the purse". If Congress does not give the President the money to do something, then he cannot do it. For example, if the President wanted a one million soldier army at all times but Congress felt that 500,000 soldiers is enough, Congress can control the President's wishes by appropriating only enough money for 500,000 soldiers. The executive branch has the power to do things, but the legislative branch has the power to limit the things he can do.
