Based on the information presented in Passage 2, select two
ways in which the legislative branch can check the power of the
executive branch.
veto a bill
command the military
reject presidential nominees
limit funding for executive activities
declare an executive order unconstitutional

Answer:

limit funding for executive activities

reject presidential nominees

Explanation:

The principle of checks and balances within the three arms of government; Judiciary, Legislature and Executive was created so that no arm of the government would have too much power and each arm of government can check and balance each other.

This created what is called separation of powers and in this, the executive can limit some powers of the judiciary, or legislature, and vice versa.

Some of the roles of the legislature in checking the power of the executive branch include limit funding for executive activities and rejection of presidential nominees.
