1. In U.S.A. all the powers of law – making have been given to the Congress, but it cannot make laws in a despotic way. 

  • The President has a right to advice the Congress regarding its intention of making a law. 
  • It is essential for the Congress to get approval of a bill from the President before it is passed as a law. The President has veto power to reject a bill.

2. The Congress and the judiciary have a check on the executive powers of the President. 

  • The approval of the Congress is essential for important appointments, for the treaties made with foreign countries and for declaration of war and peace made by the President. 
  • The orders and the decisions of the Executive are under the review of judiciary.
  • The Congress can impeach the President and remove him from office.

3. The President and the Congress have a check on the judiciary. 

  • The Congress can remove a judge from office through impeachment and can limit the functional area of the federal court. 
  • The President has the right to pardon a criminal and to appoint the judges of Supreme Court.
