Congress makes the laws, but it is checked by the President who must sign each law. However, if the President vetoes it, Congress can override a veto when each house passes the legislation by a 2/3 majority.
The Supreme Court can decide if a law is unconstitutional. It's checked because the President appoints the justices with the consent of Congress.
What are the "checks and balance" between the three branches, executive, legislature, and judicial? I know that the executive can sign bills to make them laws but I don't know what the other two branches relate to that with the "checks and balance." Thanks for helping!
