The president can veto bills passed by Congress. Congress can override a presidential veto. The president nominates Supreme Court Justices. The Supreme Court can rule laws passed by Congress unconstitutional. The Congress must approve Court appointments and treaties signed by the president. Congress can impeach and try the president. Each branch of the United States government has an equal amount of power. Congress has the power to make laws (legislative branch). However the president has the power to veto the laws made by Congress (executive branch). Then so the president doesnt have complete control over the law's fate Congress can veto the president's veto with a mandatory two thirds vote to over turn the presidents veto. Finally the Supreme Court makes the decision of whether the law is constitutional or not. Should they find it unconstitutional they can scrap it or send it back to Congress. This is known as the system of checks and balances.

This system is known as the system of checks and balances and it is used to guarantee the separation of powers.
