Detailed explanation-1: -The judicial branch can check the executive branch by declaring presidential acts unconstitutional and can check the legislative branch by declaring laws unconstitutional.

Detailed explanation-3: -The President in the executive branch can veto a law, but the legislative branch can override that veto with enough votes.
