Each and every branch can check the power of the other two. For example, the legislative checks the judicial and the executive by having the power to impeach judges and the president. The executive checks the legislative with the power of veto and it also checks the judicial by appointing federal judges. The judicial branch can rule both legislative laws and presidential actions unconstitutional. All of the branches are able to check each other by separation of powers, hence the term "checks and balances."
