How does the executive branch check the legislative branch and the judicial branc?

The executive branch checks the judicial branch by choosing which judges are able to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. The President chooses who becomes a Justice of the Supreme Court. The President is also able to veto bills proposed by Congress if he disagrees with it. The judicial branch has the power of judicial review and is able to decide which laws are constituional and which are not. If they are not, they can nullify them. The legislative branch checks the other branches by agreeing or disagreeing to their choices. If the President wants to do something, he has to get it passed by Congress first. Congress also has a voice in who becomes a Justice of the Supreme Court. I may be missing some details.
