The executive branch doesn’t check the judicial branch. It can select the AG and members of the Supreme Court but beyond that the courts check the executive branch.

Oh, dude, the executive branch can totally check the judicial branch by appointing federal judges. Like, they get to pick who sits on the bench and stuff. So, if a president doesn't vibe with a judge's decisions, they can just be like, "You're out, peace!" It's all about that balance of power, man.

The President (Executive Branch) checks the power of the Judicial Branch by appointing judges and justices to the federal courts. This helps extend the President's influence over the judiciary by selecting people who share his (or her) ideological perspective. This is particularly true in the case of appointments to the US Supreme Court, whose decisions affect social and governmental policies.

The Justive Department whose job is to enforce the law, is under the President's control. Therefore, he has a great influence how laws are enforced, which laws are strictly enforced and which laws are largely ignored. On controversial issues, the Justice Department files law suits and forces courts to make rulings on matters of especial interest to the President.

The Judicial Branch checks the power of Executive Branch through the use of judicial review. This allows the Article III federal courts (US District Courts, US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts, and the Supreme Court of the United States) to declare an Executive Order or Presidential action unconstitutional and unenforceable if it is challenged in court or is relevant to a case before the court.

Some examples include Nixon v. United States, (1974), when the US Supreme Court declared President Nixon could not withhold tapes related to the Watergate investigation under the protection of Executive Privilege; more recently several US District Courts declared President Obama's moratorium on offshore drilling unconstitutional and overturned the order. There are a number of examples of the Judicial Branch checking the power of the Executive Branch.

Directly, by striking down the validity of Executive Orders and rules promulgated through executive-branch administrative rulemaking.

Indirectly, by striking down legislation the executive branch would use as a basis for Executive Orders and executive-branch administrative rulemaking.

The executive branch ( President) has no real checks on the judicial. The president can pardon people whom he feels have been wrongly convicted or unfairly sentenced by the courts.

How does the Judicial Branch check the Legislative and the Executive Branches?

The Executive branch checks the legislature by vetoing legislation it di disagrees with. It checks the judicial branch by being the only authority by which the judicial branch can enforce judicial decisions.


What part of the system of checks and balances is a power of congress?

Checks and balances is where the Legislature, Executive, and Judicial branch look over each other and make sure no one branch gets too powerful. If the Judicial branch doesn't like something that the Executive branch likes, they can veto it.


The arrows in the illustration represent checks on the power of each branch of government which branch of government fits in each blank?

A=legislative branch; B= executive branch


Who check the executive branch?

Both the Judicial and Legislative branch can check the Executive branch. The Judicial branch has the power of judicial review and can declare any act of the Executive branch to be unconstitutional and therefore void. The Legislative branch has a number of checks on the Exectuive branch. The President, the head of the Executive Branch, can appoint federal judges but the Senate must approve.


What are the checks and balances for each branch of the US government?

check and balance is when overlapping powers give each branch powers in the other two. For example, the President has power to veto Congress's legislation as well as Congress having the power to override the President's veto. it also work with the branches of govenrment to work together
