Question

The Supreme Court can order the president to enforce a law. Which arrow on the diagram stands for this check on executive power?

Answer 1

In a typical diagram illustrating the checks and balances in the U.S. government, an arrow representing the Supreme Court's ability to order the president to enforce a law would generally point from the Supreme Court to the President. This signifies the judicial branch checking the executive branch by ensuring that the executive carries out and upholds the law as interpreted by the Court. If you have a specific diagram in mind, look for an arrow going from the Supreme Court towards the President to denote this check on executive power.
