How can congress check the president?

Congress checks the president in several ways.

1. They are able to override a veto by gaining a 2/3 majority vote on the bill or policy that they want to be passed.

2. The house is about to impeach the president.

3. The senate is able to convict and try the President for the Impeachment articles that the House researches and creates.

4. The senate approves of presidential appointments.

5. The president needs congressional approval to have military forces in other countries. A president may have troops active for 60 days, but if they do not have approval of Congress, then they must withdraw within 30 days. (War Powers Resolution)
