Question

What is one way the executive branch checks the power of the judicial branch?

Answer 1

Congress can override a regular presidential veto by a two-thirds vote of both houses. The Supreme Court and other federal courts (judicial branch) can declare laws or presidential actions unconstitutional, in a process known as judicial review.

Answer 2

The President has the power to appoint judges

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the system of checks and balances, each branch of the government has the power to oversee, limit and check the actions of the other. The Executive branch, whose power is vested in the President, is able to check the power of the Judicial branch by appointing the Justices of the Supreme Court. Following this nomination, the Legislative branch is responsible for confirming or rejecting those nominees.
