Presidential Checks and Balances

Congress and the courts each have specific ways to check presidential power: the Senate must approve many presidential appointments by a simple majority vote and must approve any treaty by a two-thirds vote, Congress can override a presidential veto or refuse to fund an administration's priorities, and Congress can impeach and remove a president for serious misconduct. Courts can also rule that a specific action taken by the President exceeds the President's own constitutional or legal authority, striking that action down even after it has already taken effect.
