Answer 1

1. The two parts of the federal government are the legislative branch (Congress) and the executive branch (President).

2. This is an example of checks and balances because Congress, a part of the legislative branch, is taking actions to limit the powers of the President, a part of the executive branch. This demonstrates how each branch of government has the ability to oversee and limit the powers of the other branches to ensure a balance of power.
