The Supreme Court Can check the Legislative branch by declaring acts of legislature unconstitutionally
Supreme Justices are nominated by the Senate.Then, the President appoints the justices. Therefore,the executive branch appoints supreme court justices
No. The Executive Branch appoints US Supreme Court justices with the approval of the Senate.
The president (executive branch) nominates judges to the Supreme Court. If the Congress approves the nomination, the nominee becomes a member of the Supreme Court. So, the Supreme Court depends on the executive for its members.
The Executive Branch (or, in particular, the president) appoints the Supreme Court Justices to their position. For the Legislative Branch: If the Supreme Court were to rule some act as "unconstitutional", the Legislature has the ability to create an amendment to the constitution.
The US Supreme Court lacks the ability to enforce its own decisions, which is a check on the Judicial Branch of government. The Executive Branch is vested with the authority and obligation to enforce Supreme Court decisions, and the Legislative branch can support a decision by passing laws upholding the Court's finding.
The president checks the supreme court by appointing members of the court.
In order for the Legislative Branch to pass a bill into law, the President (Executive Branch) must sign it. The President can check the Legislative Branch by vetoing it: not signing a bill into law. The President nominates candidates for Supreme Court Justices (Judicial Branch). In doing this, he checks the Judicial Branch by nominating candidates that would balance the power in the Supreme Court (or tip it into his favor).
