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)

Congress can check the president through various means, including the power of the purse, which allows them to control government spending and appropriations. Congress can also oversee the executive branch through its investigative and oversight powers, such as holding hearings and requesting documents. Additionally, Congress has the authority to pass legislation that limits the president's actions or even impeach the president for high crimes and misdemeanors.
