Question

Explain how the executive branch has checks on the other branches of government

Answer 1

Each branch can check the other to make sure that they aren't overstepping their power. This is called checks and balances. The executive branch has checks over the legislative branch such as they can veto laws that congress wants to pass as well as make foreign treaties. They can also have checks on the judicial branch such as being able to appoint federal judges. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

The executive branch checks the judicial branch because it appoints all federal judges. The executive branch checks the legislative branch because bills cannot be passed without the president signing them.
