Explanation:

The problem is about the U.S. government branches and their powers. The judicial branch (Supreme Court) is limiting the executive branch (President) by declaring an executive order unconstitutional. The judicial branch has the power of judicial review (to check if actions are constitutional), established by Marbury v. Madison.

Answer:

• Which branch is being limited: Executive branch (the President, as executive orders come from the executive branch).
• Which branch has this checking power: Judicial branch (the Supreme Court is part of the judicial branch, and it exercises judicial review to check the constitutionality of executive actions).
