The president can propose new programs, but Congress controls how much money these programs can spend. Which arrow on the diagram stands for this check on executive power?

Answer 1

In the diagram you are referring to, the arrow that symbolizes Congress's control over spending and its ability to check the executive power typically points from Congress to the budget or funding area of the proposed programs. This indicates that while the president can propose new programs, it is Congress that ultimately has the authority to allocate funds for them. If you are looking at a specific diagram, look for the arrow that connects Congress to the funding or budget component to identify this check on executive power.
