Congress makes the laws and controls the budget. The President can veto laws. The Supreme Court can declare them unconstitutional. Congress can remove the President if he misbehaves too badly. The President nominates Supreme Court justices and the Senate has to pass on them. And so on.

This system depends on the ability to compromise within the legislative branch and also the executive branch works through compromise with the legislative branch.
