impeaching and removing the president is an example of the legislative branch checking, or limiting, the power of the legislative branch.

Explanation:

The sentence has an error in the description of which branch is being checked. Impeaching and removing the president (executive branch) is an example of the legislative branch (Senate has power to try impeachments as per Article One, Section Three) checking the executive branch, not the legislative branch checking itself.

Answer:

Impeaching and removing the president is an example of the legislative branch checking, or limiting, the power of the executive branch.
