How does the executive check the powers of the other 2 branches?

Answer 1

The president , who leads the executive branch, can veto legislation. Just the threat of a veto has influence on the laws proposed and passed .

The president can put pressure on individual Congress members to vote the way he wants . He can reward those that help him, for example by releasing funds to his district, making the appointments the Congressman wants and campaigning and fund-raising for him. Just doing a little stroking can make a big impression on an obscure Congressmen. He can also punish those who cross him by withholding his favors. Just the hint of a threat may suffice, especially with members of his own party.

The president also enjoys what T. Roosevelt called a bully pulpit. He can influence public opinion the way the FDR did in his fireside chats. He can sell his legislative program and get people to pressure their Congressmen to vote for it. Congressmen are extremely sensitive to public opinion in their own districts.

Finally, the President has a lot of lee-way in the way he enforces or applies the laws passed by Congress. He issues executive orders to the federal employees who staff the federal agencies and these order have the effect of law.

Answer 2

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).

Answer 3

The Executive Branch (The President). If Congress passes a bill (proposed law) that the President opposes, he/she can write the word "Veto" on the bill and send it back to Congress. (The word "veto" means, "I forbid.")

The president may call Congress into special session "on extraordinary occasions" to take care of unfinished or new legislative business--e.g., to pass a law without which the president feels he cannot carry out his promises or responsibilities.

The Executive Branch checks the Judicial Branch by choosing which judges are able to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. The President chooses who becomes a Justice of the Supreme Court.

The Legislative Branch (Congress). If the President vetoes a bill, Congress can pass the bill anyway, if the bill can get a 2/3 majority of the votes in both houses of Congress. (The Senate and the House of Representatives.) The Senate has the power to reject or approve Presidential appointments.

The Legislative Branch can check the Judicial Branch by determining the size of the Supreme Court and limiting its appellate jurisdiction. It can also establish and dismantle lower federal courts.

The Legislative Branch (House of Representatives) also hold the sole power of impeachment over both the Judicial and Executive branches.

The Judicial Branch (Supreme Court and other Article III federal courts). If a law is passed and it is challenged because someone or a group thinks it is not allowed under the Constitution, the federal courts can rule that it is "unconstitutional" and therefore void.
