Step-by-step explanation:

By passing amendments to the Constitution, Congress can effectively check the decisions of the Supreme Court. Congress (considered the branch of government closest to the people) can impeach both members of the executive and judicial branches.

Congress Congress can check the president by overriding a presidential veto with a 2/3 majority vote by confirming or rejecting cabinet members or other appointees the president has selected and by subpoenaing as witness and holding in contempt people to whom the president has offered pardons in addition only Congress can initiate legislation so if a president wants a bill passed he must lobby Congress
