The Constitution specifically grants Congress its most important power â the authority to make laws. A bill, or proposed law, only becomes a law after both the House of Representatives and the Senate have approved it in the same form. The two houses share other powers, many of which are listed in Article I, Section 8.
This system works in several ways. Congress, for example, passes laws. The president can check Congress by rejecting -- vetoing -- its legislation. This veto power is balanced, however, by the power of Congress to override the veto by a two-thirds vote of each house.The federal courts restrain Congress by ruling on the constitutionality of laws.This power of the judicial branch is balanced by the power of the president to appoint federal judges.his veto power is balanced, however, by the power of Congress to override the veto by a two-thirds vote of each house.
