Checks and Balances means that no one branch of the government can overpower the other branches of government. Each has a check on the power of the other branches. This provides for the necessity of cooperation among the three branches and allows the government to enact favorable legislation.

Executive Branch
Congress makes laws. The balances are a veto from the executive branch, or a ruling by the Supreme court. But Congress can pass a law by a certain number of votes that can overrule the executive branch's veto. The judicial settles disputes over constitutionality, and balances the Congress and the executive by rulings. The executive branch can approve laws from Congress, and is responsible for enforcing the laws. It also plays a big part in national defense. One balance is that the executive branch cannot conduct a war without Congress voting to make money available for it. But it can make small police actions on its own when there is no time to waste.
The executive branch is part of our Congress.

Checks and balances is where the Legislature, Executive, and Judicial branch look over each other and make sure no one branch gets too powerful. If the Judicial branch doesn't like something that the Executive branch likes, they can veto it.
The President has the power to veto or deny Congress's bill's passing.
The system of checks and balances makes it likely that the president and Congress will always compete for power. Which branch will dominate in any specific period depends on many factors, including the politicial issues at the time and the leaders in Congress and the executive branch.
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.
