Question

Which is one way the executive branch checks the power of the judicial branch

A. The executive branch can propose constitutional amendments.

B. The Vice President breaks ties in the senate.

C. The president can propose new laws to congress.

D. The president has the power to appoint judges.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) The president has the power to appoint judges.

The executive branch of our government consists of the president and their cabinet. The judicial branch of our government consists of the Supreme Court and its nine judges. The executive branch can check the power of the judicial branch because the president is the person who decides who will be the next Supreme Court justice when a judge retires/dies in office.
