Question

1. which of the following is not an example of checks and balances in the united states constitution?

the president can veto a supreme court decision, but only with the support of a two - thirds majority vote in congress.
the supreme court can review laws passed by congress and declare them unconstitutional if they deem them inconsistent with the constitution.
the president can veto laws passed by congress, but congress can override a veto by a two - thirds majority vote in both houses.
if the house believes the president is guilty of \high crimes or misdemeanors,\ it can formally charge or impeach the president. a trial to decide whether to remove the president from office is held in the senate.

Explanation:

Checks and balances in the U.S. Constitution involve different branches of government having powers to limit each other. The President vetoing a Supreme Court decision with a two - thirds majority in Congress is not a valid check. The Supreme Court is a separate, co - equal branch, and the President does not have the power to veto its decisions in this way. The other options (President vetoing laws with Congress override, Supreme Court reviewing laws, House impeachment) are valid checks.

Answer:

The president can veto a Supreme Court decision, but only with the support of a two - thirds majority vote in Congress.
