The correct response is:

The president can veto a new law. The president chooses new judges for national courts.

This is because the executive branch has the power to veto legislation passed by Congress (the legislative branch), effectively checking their authority. Additionally, the president has the responsibility of nominating judges to the federal judiciary, thereby influencing the judicial branch as well.
