Answer 2

Some examples include the President's ability to veto a bill, Congress's ability to pass a bill that has already been vetoed with a 2/3 majority, and the supreme court's ability to deem laws unconstitutional.

Answer 3

In the US Consitution, a system of checks and balances helps the three branches of US government limit the powers of each other. For example:

Congress is able to pass a bill with a simple majority vote. Once this is done, the bill is sent to the President, who can either sign it, which would put it into law, or veto it, which would reject Congress' bill. If the president chooses to veto, the bill must then pass through both houses of Congress, this time with a 2/3 majority vote. If Congress does this, the President's veto is overridden. This way, a president can limit the power of Congress to pass laws, but Congress can limit the president's power to reject bills.

Another example is that a President can nominate anyone for certain government positions, like Cabinet Secretaries, or vacant Supreme Court seats. However, these nominations must be approved by the Senate with a 2/3 majority vote. This way, the Senate limits the power of the President and his nominations.
