Question

which of the following is not a check on the executive by the legislative branch? multiple choice overriding presidential vetoes denying presidential appointments vetoing acts of congress impeaching the president

Explanation:

To determine which is not a legislative check on the executive, we analyze each option:

• Overriding presidential vetoes: Congress (legislative) can override a president's (executive) veto, so this is a legislative check.
• Denying presidential appointments: The Senate (part of legislative) can reject the president's (executive) nominations, a legislative check.
• Vetoing acts of Congress: The president (executive) uses the veto on congressional (legislative) acts, so this is an executive check on the legislative, not the other way around.
• Impeaching the president: Congress (legislative) can impeach the president (executive), a legislative check.

Answer:

C. Vetoing acts of Congress
