Explanation:
The branches of government can limit each other's power in a number of ways. For example, it is the Supreme Court that can rule a president's actions unconstitutional. In addition, the President can obstruct the Supreme Court Ruling by refusing to enforce them. This has happened twice historically with Andrew Jackson going ahead with allowing the Indian Removal Act to move forward and Abraham Lincoln defying the Supreme Court on the habeas corpus ruling. Likewise, the exception clause in the Constitution grants Congress the power to make exceptions to the constitutionally defined appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Congress can also propose amendments to the Constitution that would effectively make a Supreme Court decision moot. Finally, the Supreme Court can overturn an unconstitutional law passed by Congress.
