Question

The Constitution allows each branch of the government checks on the power of the other two branches. Which check does the executive branch have on the judicial branch?

Answer 1

Check and balances of the executive branch over the judicial branch happen when the presidents appoint federal judges.

Now, aside from the power given to the executive branch to check the legislative branch by vetoing laws that the Congress wants to pass; the executive branch is also given to check on the judicial branch by appointing its federal judges. The legislative branch, then, would be the one to approve these appointments.
