doctrine of checks and balances

The checks and balances are meant to keep any one branch from making disastrous policy or law that will harm the nation. Its also meant to avoid decisions made in haste. Unfortunately it doesn't always work. For example, the president has to get the approval of Congress to go to war. Congress is expected to review the president's line of reasoning and supporting evidence. Several parts of this fell apart during the run up to the Iraq War.
