Question

which of the following is not a way that congress could potentially check the power of the federal courts? refusing to fund the implementation of decisions jurisdiction - stripping (i.e., limiting the types of cases the courts are allowed to hear) appointing new justices to the courts impeaching & removing judges/justices reducing the size of the supreme court rewatch

Explanation:

In the United States, the President nominates new justices to the federal courts (including the Supreme Court), and the Senate (a part of Congress) confirms these nominations. So Congress does not directly appoint new justices. Congress can refuse to fund court - decision implementation (as it controls the purse strings), engage in jurisdiction - stripping (under its authority to make laws regarding the judiciary's jurisdiction), impeach and remove judges/justices (as per the impeachment process), and potentially reduce the size of the Supreme Court (by passing legislation, although this is a complex and politically charged area).

Answer:

appointing new justices to the courts
