There are three branches of government, which in theory are equal in power. Any one of the three branches can prevent action by the other two.
The three branches are the Executive branch, headed by the President, and which includes the military and most of the government bureaucracy. Second is the Legislative branch, divided into the Senate and the House of Representatives. The legislature has the "power of the purse"; to supply money or to cut off money to the other branches. The legislature also has the power of impeachment, the ability to remove any bad actor from the government. The third branch is the Judicial branch, including the Supreme Court and all of the various Federal courts.
In practice, the Executive branch has essentially unlimited power, only slightly checked by the Legislature or the Courts. This is their own faults; the Legislature is reluctant to impeach and remove from office any but the most corrupt and evil officeholders, and the courts show undue deference to the Executive branch and fail to limit the Executive branch's power.

However, it could become an example of checks and balances if Congress passes a law, the President vetoes it, and Congress then overrides the President's veto as provided in the Constitution.
