Questions: How is the president able to limit, or check, the power of the legislative branch? A. The president can veto any bill regardless of the number of congressional members who support it. B. The president can remove members of Congress he or she suspects of committing crimes. C. The president can require Congress to approve a treaty he or she negotiated. D. The president can deploy U.S. troops overseas even if Congress does not declare war.

The answer is A. The president can veto any bill regardless of the number of congressional members who support it.

This is correct. The U.S. Constitution grants the president the power to veto legislation passed by Congress. This serves as a check on the legislative branch, as it requires Congress to reconsider the bill and potentially override the veto with a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate.

This is incorrect. The president does not have the authority to remove members of Congress. Members of Congress can only be expelled by a two-thirds vote in their respective chamber.

This is misleading. While the president can negotiate treaties, they require the approval of two-thirds of the Senate to be ratified. This is more of a check on the president's power by the legislative branch rather than the other way around.

This is partially correct but not a direct check on legislative power. The president, as Commander-in-Chief, can deploy troops, but this action is subject to the War Powers Resolution, which requires notification to Congress and limits the time troops can be deployed without congressional approval.
