The checks and balances system still works in a bicameral system because each house has its own powers within the system. For example, only the House has the power to criminally indict the president and other officials but the Senate has the power to review the case.

The Senate has the power to confirm the appointment of more than a thousand executive officers and has the possibility of ratifying treaties.
