the judicial branch can rule that executive actions are unconstitutional. the legislative branch can override a veto made by the president. the executive branch can appoint federal judges.

Explanation:

The system of checks - and - balances in the U.S. government allows each branch to limit the power of the others. The judicial branch can declare executive actions unconstitutional through judicial review. The legislative branch can override a presidential veto with a two - thirds majority vote in both houses. The executive branch has the power to appoint federal judges, subject to Senate confirmation. The other options have incorrect power assignments (e.g., the judicial branch can't veto laws, the legislative branch can't sign treaties).

Answer:

The judicial branch can rule that executive actions are unconstitutional. The legislative branch can override a veto made by the president. The executive branch can appoint federal judges.
