The legislative branch's checks and balances include the power to override presidential vetoes with a two-thirds majority in both houses, ensuring that the executive branch cannot unilaterally block legislation. Congress has the authority to confirm or reject presidential appointments, such as federal judges and cabinet members, which provides oversight over the executive branch. Additionally, Congress can impeach and remove federal officials, including the president, for misconduct, serving as a critical check on executive power. Lastly, the legislative branch holds the power of the purse, controlling federal spending and budget allocations, which limits the executive's financial authority.
Examples would be unconstitutional attempts at governance such as a legislative veto or judicial activism("legislating from the bench").
