What role does the executive branch play in checking the power of congress? a) it can declare war on foreign countries b) the president may veto congressional legislation c) congress can create federal courts and can impeach judges d) the president can decide that laws of congress are unconstitutional

The correct answer is B) the President may veto Congressional legislation.

The question refers to the Executive branch. In our government, the executive branch consists of the president. Our president has the power of the veto, meaning that he can reject laws passed by Congress. This power allows him to stop a law from becoming implemented into American society. This power also allows the president to check the power of Congress because if they make any laws that the president thinks are unconstitutional or unfair, he can stop them from being put into law.
