Question

Describe at least one way in which the legislative branch is able to influence the actions of the judicial branch and at least one way in which it is able to influence the actions of the executive branch.

Answer 1

The United States Constitution grants Congress the right of impeachment. This is one way the legislative branch has influence over the judicial branch, since in case of major misconduct it is able to impeach Supreme Court Justices if found guilty.

A way the legislative branch has influence over the actions of the executive branch is through its power of vetoing an executive order by passing legislation that would turn this executive order invalid.
