What power does congress have over a president?

The Constitution's division of powers leaves the President with some exclusive powers as Commander-in-Chief, Congress with certain other exclusive powers, and a sort of "twilight zone" of concurrent powers. Congress also has the power to limit the powers of the President.The Constitution describes the powers of Congress more than those of the president because initially Congress was supposed to rule the country while the president didn't do much.
The citizens vote for the President AND Congress.
Congress and the president.
The Constitution of the United States created a system of separate institutions that share powers. Because the three branches of government share the powers, each branch can partially check the powers of the others. Example: the Congressds can check the president by refusing to pass a bill the president wants. The president can check Congress by vetoing a bill that has passed both Houses. The Courts can check the Congress by declaring a law unconstitutional.
Congress cannot compel the President to testify.
