Question

Which is an example of the executive branch imposing a check on the legislature's power to make laws?

b The president vetoes a bill.
c A bill dies in committee.
d A member refuses to sponsor a bill written by an executive agency.
e The president appoints a federal justice.

Answer 1

b. the president vetoes a bill
Presidents can veto any bill but then it goes back to congress again, where it must pass with a supermajority to override the veto. This would prevent the executive branch from having too much power while keeping the process balanced.
