Question

which of the following powers are granted to the executive branch to check the other branches of government? select all that apply. can refuse cabinet appointments can appoint judges to the supreme court can ratify and approve international treaties can declare laws unconstitutional can veto laws passed by congress can grant pardons

Explanation:

The executive branch can check the legislative branch by vetoing laws passed by Congress. It can also check the judicial branch by appointing judges to the Supreme - Court. Pardoning power can be used to check the judicial system's sentencing. Refusing cabinet appointments is an internal executive - branch action, not a check on other branches. Ratifying international treaties is a power related to foreign relations and not a direct check on other domestic branches. Declaring laws unconstitutional is a power of the judicial branch (judicial review).

Answer:

• Can appoint judges to the Supreme Court
• Can veto laws passed by Congress
• Can grant pardons
