The Constitution of the United States creates a system of a separation of powers between the three branches of governance, while still allowing "checks and balances" over the powers of each. The executive branch has the power of veto over Congress. Second, the Executive has the authority and power to introduce bills into the House. Third, the vice president (VP) is selected by the chief executive, this gains presidential powers into the house through the VP's role as pro-tempore Senate president. In this role the pro-tempore casts the deciding votes in tied legislation.
