The powers and duties are defined in the Constitution. Ultimately the Supreme Court would decide if any assumed power or duty was in violation of what the Constitution actually says or means. However, there is no "must" about it. Many powers of the Presidency are no where wrote in the Constitution, it has just been assumed by various Presidents that they exist, and no sufficient challenge has been made.

To overturn the president's veto of a bill 2/3rds of the congress needs to approve.
Technically, there are no executive powers held by the Senate. Executive powers are those held by the President of the United States. The powers that the Senate holds are: to try the President on impeachment, but not to impeach him, the power to approve treaties by a 2/3 vote and make amendments to already approved votes, and the power approve of the appoints of many government officials. The last power that our Senate holds is in declaring war. However, in most aspects of the government system, all powers are shared between the different branches of government. For example, the Senate may declare war, but the President is Commander-in-Chief and must share the decision making process. The Senate may also hold trials for it's own members if rules have been broken, but only four members have been successfully convicted of crimes and most resign before being dismissed from the Senate.
