Explain what authority does Congress have to check the power of the Executive Branch?
Congress has the authority to pass laws. If the President vetoes the proposed law, Congress has the authority to override the veto by a 2/3 vote, and the law takes affect anyway.
The House of Representatives has the authority to impeach any government officer from President on down, and the Senate acts as a jury to determine if the officer should be removed from office.
For an amendment to the US Constitution, the Congress must pass it by 3/4 majority vote, after which the proposed amendment is sent to the States for ratification by their legislatures. Neither the President nor the Governors of the various states have any role to play in this process.
