Arguably, the ultimate check on the power of the president is impeachment - if the president is thought to have committed a crime in the course of his duties, the House of Representatives can vote to impeach him, and then the Senate conducts the trial. A conviction requires a 2/3 majority vote of the Senate, and the highest punishment it can impose is removal from office.
One could also argue that the voters are the ultimate check on the president's power - if they don't like his policies, they can vote him out in the next election. Furthermore, the Constitution (through the 22nd Amendment), limits the President to two terms in office, which prevents the President from becoming too powerful.
