Answer
A
through the creation of new laws
B
through the veto-override process
C
through the president’s rejection of laws
D
through the declaration of laws as unconstitutional
E
through the confirmation of presidential appointments
Explanation
The president can reject a bill passed by Congress, using a veto to limit the legislative branch’s power. The judicial branch can also declare a law unconstitutional, preventing Congress from enforcing a law that violates the Constitution. The veto-override process is instead a way for Congress to check the president.
