The presidential power that serves as a check on the court system is **the power to grant reprieves and pardons**. This power allows the president to forgive or lessen the penalties for federal offenses, effectively providing a check on the judiciary by allowing the executive branch to intervene in specific cases that may have been decided by the courts.
