Answer:

the president

Step-by-step explanation:

While it is the legislative branch that makes law, the president may check Congress by vetoing bills Congress has passed, preventing them from being enacted. In turn, Congress may enact a law over the president's objection by overriding his veto with a vote of two-thirds of both the House and Senate.
