1. The legislative branch of government (Congress) examines a proposed bill and can either reject it or vote to make it into a law.
2. When Congress votes in favor of making a bill into law, the Executive Branch of government (The President) signs it into law. If the President does not approve of the bill, he/she can veto it, and send recommendations to Congress to amend the bill.
If Congress approves a bill by 2/3 or more of both the house and senate, it shall become law, and the President cannot veto it.
3. The Judicial Branch of government (The Supreme Court) interprets laws and upholds the Constitution. When disagreements occur between the legislative and executive branches of government, the judicial branch has the power to resolve the disagreement by interpreting the law in view of existing laws and the Constitution.
4. The varying roles of the three branches of government provide a system of checks and balances so that no branch of government can abuse power or authority over the governed.
