As part of the Legislative Branch, the Senate has the power to override a veto from the President. The Senate also has to approve treaties negotiated by the Executive Branch. The Senate also approves some appointments by the President, like federal judges, members of the Supreme Court, and ambassadors to other nation s. The Senate also acts as the "jury" during impeachment of a president. It checks the President by requesting monthly reports from the White House about the President's actions.

No single governmental branch is able to appoint judges in their vital roles (balance); the process requires discussion, even debate (slow change).
