In what ways do our branches of government remain balanced?

The branches of government in the United States - the executive, legislative, and judicial - remain balanced through a system of checks and balances. Each branch has specific powers that allow them to check the actions of the other branches, preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful. For example, the President can veto legislation passed by Congress, but Congress can override a veto with a two-thirds majority vote. Additionally, the Supreme Court can declare laws passed by Congress or actions taken by the President unconstitutional, maintaining the balance of power among the branches.
