Mark Twain coined the Gilded age as an era characterized by a facade of prosperity. This era that he war referring to was the years after the Civil War. At this time, the economy saw great strides in terms of development, growth and wealth. However, Mark Twain, along with Charles Dudley Warner, saw that this prosperity masked the consequences of the growing trade and its effects on the industrial workers. 

Behind this veil of gold and success, was corruption, stratification of the society and turmoil among workers.

The Supreme Court justices are more willing to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional than to strike down presidential action
TEA [102]
In general, you can look at the Supreme court checking congress (by overturning unconstitutional laws), congress checks the president (through investigation committees, and eventually potential impeachment) and the president checks the Supreme court (by appointing justices). There are some smaller checks that run counter to this order (like the President can veto congressional bills), but they're much more minor powers. Most of the time, the "checking" of presidential power by the supreme court happens by the court striking down laws passed through congress that the president has thrown a considerable amount of political weight behind (think many of FDR's new deal programs, some of which were struck down by the court. Obamacare also narrowly had some of it's components struck down by the court). The Supreme court can strike down executive orders that are unconstitutional. President Trump's muslim ban, for instance, had some of it's elements stricken down by the court in just the last month.
