A legislative hold is a way for a senator to object to a bill by delaying it for days or weeks.
House of Lords
No. Congress (the Legislative Branch) holds the power of the purse, meaning they create the budget and decide what to fund and what not to fund.
Today's government is made up of three branches-- the Legislative (Congress), Executive (President), and Judicial (Courts). Each of these branches holds different checks over the other branches. There are actually several checks that each branch holds, but here are a few examples: The President can veto a bill passed by Congress. This is a check that the Executive Branch holds over the Legislative. The US Supreme Court can declare an act passed by Congress unconstitutional. This is an example of a check the Judicial Branch holds over the Legislative. The President nominates federal judges for the Supreme Court and also for the other federal courts. Then, the Senate has to approve these nominees. This is actually an example of a couple of checks. The first is one that both the Executive and Legislative hold over the Judicial-- since they both have a say in who becomes a judge, they both check the judges in the US Supreme Court and in other federal courts. The second is one held by the Legislative over the Executive. This is that they must approve all nominees.
The legislative branch holds the powers of impeachment of the President. The House of Representatives is tasked with bringing forth charges. The Senate is tasked with holding the trial of impeachment.

Legislative Branch
In general, the doctrine of separation of powers holds that the legislative branch cannot unduly (i.e., unconstitutionally) intrude upon the executive branch or the judicial branch.
Members of the House. They are the people elected in the 435 districts across the states.
The group that holds legislative power is typically referred to as a "legislature." This body is responsible for making laws and is often composed of elected representatives. In many countries, it may be called a parliament, congress, or assembly, depending on the specific governmental structure.
The legislative branch along with the other 2 branches work in a system of checks and balances. In this case the legislative branch votes on the presidents decisions and can approve or deny bills before they get to the president.
Congress is given the power to make the laws of the country. The President can propose laws but he can't pass them. Only Congress can do that.
