The legislative branch checks the judicial branch by several powers, including:
- Advice and consent on judicial appointments (Senate confirms or rejects presidential nominees to the federal bench).
- Impeachment and removal (House can impeach judges; Senate holds the trial and can convict and remove them).
- Creating, organizing, and abolishing lower federal courts and setting the size of the federal judiciary.
- Controlling jurisdiction (Congress can limit or define the jurisdiction of federal courts and, in some cases, strip appellate jurisdiction).
- Passing or amending statutes to respond to court interpretations (and proposing constitutional amendments to overturn Supreme Court rulings).
- Budgetary and oversight powers (setting funding and holding hearings that can affect courts or judicial administration).
These powers are the main legislative checks on the judiciary under the Constitution.
