The three branches balance each other. The congress makes laws, the executive implements them and the judicial interprets them

Federal judges are nominated by the executive branch, ie the President and approved by the legislative branch, ie Congress. Then the judges have the power to overturn and interpret laws written by the congress and approved by the president. And that in a nutshell is how the Judaical branch works in the system of checks and balance. My personal opinion though is that because Judges once appointed, unless they do something outrageous, don't have to answer to anyone, practically. Therefore, they have a bit too much power. On the other hand, I realize that they shouldn't make decisions based on political party agendas. Therefore, perhaps there should be a public referendum every eight or ten years, whether a judge in a district should face reappointment hearings. But that's just my opinion.

The legislative branch makes laws that are in accordance with the constitution. They cannot execute the laws, nor can they give themselves the power to execute the laws (as in putting in a law that a member of congress shall run an agency, etc). The executive branch can execute the laws of the legislature, including formation of agency laws that will help execute the laws, but they can't create their own laws (a president bringing up a bill is him merely mentioning a bill, it still has to go through the legislative branch). The judiciary has the ability to interpret the laws and strike down laws that they find are unconstitutional or are not clear enough (basically unconstitutional). They cannot create law (they can interpret the meaning, but that is all), and they cannot execute the laws (sentencing a person to time is a form of interpretation that the executive branch carries out).

There are also direct "power checks" by each branch, which fall into their specific duties. The executive has the right to veto a law it does not believe to be executable, but this can be overturned by a 2/3rds majority in the legislative branch (we need this law, you just execute it). the judiciary can strike down a law that is "unconstitutional", as well as judge on an impeachment process, which can be brought by the legislative against the executive to have him removed from office (impeachment is not removal, it is the calling to remove). the executive can pick the judiciary, but needs the legislative's approval in doing so.
