Answer 1

The correct answer is A) Impeach the president.

Congress may do the following to limit the power of the executive: Impeach the president.

The founding fathers of the United States created a federal government that included a system of checks and balances in which none of the three branches of the federal government had more power over the other two. In this particular case, the legislative branch is the US Congress composed of two chambers: the lower chamber or House of Representatives and the upper chamber or the Senate.

Under the checks and balances system, Congress has the power to impeach the President of the United States. This has happened with President Andrew Jhonson, Bill Clinton, and two times the actual President.
