Best Answer

The Supreme Court can declare a law passed by Congress to be unconstitutional and therefore null and void. The President can veto laws by Congress and fail to enforce them if his party has an impeachment-proof minority in Senate.

The president can check congress by what power?

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.
