Our
System of Checks and
Balances
Our government consists
of three, coequal
branches: Legislative
(the Congress), Executive
(the President), and Judicial
(the Courts). Congress enacts
the laws, the President executes
the laws, and the Courts interpret
the laws. When the
President has to sign a
law he doesn't like, he
adds a "signing
statement" which
says he doesn't have to
abide by it. If the
Courts say he does, he
has someone whom he has
employed for the purpose
tell him he still doesn't
have to abide by the law,
so he doesn't.
