Who checks the power of the president?
In this lesson, you’ll learn how the powers of the president are limited by the Constitution through a system of checks and balances, especially by Congress and the courts. You’ll explore how tools like Senate confirmation, veto overrides, and judicial review help prevent any one branch from gaining too much power.
