How Much Is The Check Up At Executive Optical?

How does the Executive Branch check the power of the Judicial Branch?

• Answer:

  The President (Executive Branch) checks the power of the Judicial Branch by appointing judges and justices to the federal courts. This helps extend the President's influence over the judiciary by selecting people who share his (or her) ideological perspective. This is particularly true in the case of appointments to the US Supreme Court, whose decisions affect social and governmental policies. The Justive Department whose job is to enforce the law, is under the President's control. Therefore, he has a great influence how laws are enforced, which laws are strictly enforced and which laws are largely ignored. On controversial issues, the Justice Department files law suits and forces courts to make rulings on matters of especial interest to the President.
