The separation of powers into three branches of government involves a checks and balances system in order to express the separation and equality of power. Here are some examples: Executive Branch ---> Legislative Branch: can veto any bill of law, propose a law, or call special sessions Executive Branch ---> Judicial Branch: appoints justices to Supreme Court, grants pardons Judicial Branch ---> Legislative Branch: can declare laws unconstitutional Judicial Branch ---> Executive Branch: declare executive orders unconstitutional, are appointed to the Supreme Court for life Legislative Branch ---> Executive Branch: can override presidential vetoes, can impeach the president, budget control, ratifies treaties Legislative Branch ---> Judicial Branch: confirms presidential appointments, can impeach federal judges, established courts and set number of judges
The judicial branch checks on the legislative to ensure that they are passing laws that are constitutional. The executive branch checks the legislative by having the veto power. Vetoing means he can refuse to sign a bill and send it back to the house or senate.
