Checks and balances between Congress and the president are intended to limit the potential powers of both.
The balance of power between the three branches of government is even, since the founding fathers wrote checks and balances into the Constitution. The congress makes the laws, which can be vetoed by the president. The congress can over rule the president, and the judicial system can rule the laws unconstitutional.
The president often proposes legislation to the Congress, which passes the actual laws and monitors their enforcement. When differences develop between the president and Congress over what a law means, the federal courts may be called on to interpret what Congress intended when it passed the law...MoMMy.! :)

In speaking about the US Congress, an idea for a new law or a change in an existing law is called a bill. If both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate agree on this piece of legislation that they believe should now be the "law of the land" the bill is sent to the US President to sign into law. If the president is opposed to the legislation there is a process to either alter the bill or for a president to veto a bill. Often times there is a compromise between the president and congress to enable the bill to be signed into law.
Primary legislation is the legislation which has been passed by elected leaders, such as Parliament or Congress. Delegated legislation is rules and regulations which is set by the civil service, which cannot override Primary Legislation.

Members of Congress often have ideas very different from the president about what constitutes desirable public policy.
There seems always to be a bit of a power struggle between the Legislative and the Executive branches of government. Congress passes legislation that the President is sometimes inclined to veto. Congress can attempt to override the veto, so there is mechanism in place to allow Congress to force its will in spite of an attempt by the Chief Executive to block it. The primary power that Congress has to limit the President's power is control of the Federal pursestrings. Congress decides where money will be spent, and how much.
