What is the power given to each branch over each other called in the constitution?
checks and balances. That is, there are three branches of government. The Legislative Branch is congress (House and Senate)...they write laws. The Executive Branch is the President and his cabinet. The president signs or vetoes the laws that Congress creates. The Judicial Branch, which is the Supreme Court, interprets the laws created by Congress and signed by the President. The Congress are elected by the people of the land. So is the President. However, the Supreme court justices are selected by the president, and voted into their positions by congress, after a process of examination by the Congress. Checks and balances exists so that no one branch of government has all the power. The Congress makes laws but cannot make them INTO law, without the President's signature. The president can sign bills into law, but he has no power to create laws (unless he practices "Executive Order" which every president has done since the first: Abraham Lincoln made a law about eliminating slavery, WITHOUT congressional approval) the Supreme Court hears cases where the laws of the United States are exercised. They decide what is the just application of the laws created by the Congress and signed by the President. The Congress doesn't apply the law, and neither does the President.
