Example of Congress checking President?
Here are a few, I am sure there are more. Congress enacts the laws the president has to enforce. This means the president is limited to acts within the scope of power that Congress gives him unless the Constitution gives the president a power that cannot be regulated this way. Congress passes the law that adopts the federal budget. This means that the president can only do as much as the Congress will let him pay for. Congress can impeach a president and then turn him out of office for what the Constitution calls "high crimes and misdemeanors." This ensures that the President follows the laws like everyone else has to. There are many more examples.

What principal of the constitution states that congress can impeach a sitting President if he she behaves in an unlawful manner?
The principle of the constitution that states that Congress can impeach a sitting President for unlawful behavior is known as the principle of checks and balances. This principle ensures that no individual, including the President, is above the law and can be held accountable for their actions. Impeachment is a constitutional mechanism that allows Congress to investigate and remove a President from office if they have committed "high crimes and misdemeanors."
