1 answer
The branch of government that is appointed by the president and determines if laws are constitutional is the judiciary branch. Specifically, it is the responsibility of the Supreme Court, which is the highest court in the United States, to interpret the Constitution and ultimately determine the constitutionality of laws. The president appoints justices to the Supreme Court, with confirmation by the Senate, and these justices serve for life or until they voluntarily retire.
