Because president Jackson wanted like that.
Congress overriding a presidential veto with a 2/3 vote
checks and balances
Well, one example is: Congress can override a Presidential veto if Congress has a 2/3 vote in both the House and Senate.

Not entirely. Separation of powers includes checks and balances, so the congress overriding a presidents veto on a bill, which is an example of checks and balances, is a portion of separation of powers. Separation of powers really means any way to distribute power among the 3 branches of government
this would be an example of checks and balances.
The best example of checks and balances is that the president can veto any bill passed by Congress, but a two-thirds vote in Congress can override the veto.
Since the Constitution places the power and responsibility for passage of legislation with the Congress, passing a law is more an example of the basic function of the legislative branch than an example of checks and balances. However, it could become an example of checks and balances if Congress passes a law, the President vetoes it, and Congress then overrides the President's veto as provided in the Constitution.
The president can veto bills passed by Congress.

Yes. The framers wanted to make sure that the Legislative Branch could not become too powerful by creating the veto power for the president. However, the President's veto can be overturned with a 2/3 majority vote from both houses of congress. Also, the supreme court can overturn any legislation during a process called Judicial Review, limiting the power of the other two branches.
