How can the executive branch check the power of the legislature branch?

Answer 1

There are several ways the Executive Branch can check the Legislative Branch. The President has the power to veto bills sent to him by Congress. That means he does not sign the bill into law. In the State of the Union Address, the President lays out his legislative agenda and those items are usually addressed first in the new Congress. The President can give speeches and appear on TV and radio to ask the public to support or oppose certain legislation. The right of "executive privilege" or the right to withhold information that Congress may want to obtain from the President gives the executive a way of blocking action and a way of forcing Congress to bargain with him over policies.

Answer 2

The president can veto bills that congress creates.
In order to balance that, congress can override a veto.
In order to keep a balance on both of these, the Supreme Court can declare any law unconstitutional.
The president also appoints the Supreme Court Justices, but congress has to approve of these appointments. So there is another round of checks and balances.
That's a little more than you were asking for I think, but it's a good simple overview of some checks and balances.
