Question

Which is an example of the executive branch imposing a check on the legislature's power to make laws? A court declares a law unconstitutional. The president vetoes a bill. A bill dies in committee. A member refuses to sponsor a bill written by an executive agency. The president appoints a federal justice.

Answer 1

The correct answer is The president vetoes a bill.

The system of checks and balances was established in our country after the implementation of the US Constitution. The goal of this system of checks and balances was to ensure that no one branch of the federal government possessed too much power.

One way this is done is through the veto. A president (part of the executive branch) hsas the ability to veto (override) a bill passed by the House of Representatives and Senate. This veto prevents a bill from becoming a law.

Answer 2

The president vetoes a bill because bills are created by the legislative government
