Question

how can the legislative branch limit the power of the executive branch?
a. it can veto bills passed by the executive branch.
b. it can override vetoes made by the executive branch.
c. it can nominate supreme court justices.
d. it can reject laws that are unconstitutional.

Explanation:

• Option A: The executive branch (President) has the veto power over legislative bills, not the other way around. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: The legislative branch (Congress) can override a presidential veto with a two - thirds vote in both houses. This is a way the legislative branch limits the executive's power over legislation.
• Option C: The executive branch (President) nominates Supreme Court justices, and the legislative branch (Senate) confirms them. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: The judicial branch (Supreme Court) has the power of judicial review to reject unconstitutional laws, not the legislative branch. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. It can override vetoes made by the executive branch.
