The Framers of the Constitution gave the President the power to veto acts of Congress to prevent the legislative branch from becoming too powerful.
Explanation:
The veto allows the President to “check” the legislature by reviewing acts passed by Congress and blocking measures he finds unconstitutional, unjust, or unwise.
Officials who enforced the law and collected taxes in ancient sparta were called "Ephors," although it should be noted that this name was not always used.
