How does the US Supreme Court check the powers of the US President?

Explain how the American Supreme Court checks the powers of the U.S. President.

Answer 1

The US Supreme Court checks the powers of the US President:

• The Court can review executive orders and actions.
• If an action violates the Constitution, it can be declared null and void.
• Example: In United States v. Nixon (1974), the Court ruled that President Nixon must release White House tapes, limiting executive privilege.
