How have congress and the president checked and balanced each other?

Question

Just out of curiosity

Answer 1

Since 9/11, President Bush's repeated assaults on the Constitution and celebration of international lawlessness in confronting al Qaeda have needlessly made Americans less safe. The president, for example, has flouted the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in intercepting the conversations and e-mails of American citizens on American soil on his say-so alone. He has claimed authority to break into and enter our homes, open our mail and commit torture in order to collect foreign intelligence.

He has insisted that the entire United States is a battlefield -- where lethal military force may be employed to kill al Qaeda suspects with bombs or missiles. He has detained citizens
and noncitizens alike as enemy combatants based on secret evidence. And he has insisted that he is constitutionally
empowered to keep U.S. troops in Iraq indefinitely.

We haven't seen checks and balances in Washington since pre 9-11

Answer 2

By working hard to out do the other for the lowest approval ratings in history for both Congress and the Executive Branch.

Answer 3

Cheney checks & balances himself & Bush. He doesn't need Congress.

Answer 4

The Democrats in Congress have checked the President by giving secrets and encouragement to our enemies.
The President has ignored their demands as he attempts to do his duty and assure the security of America.
When it comes to the driving America to more and more Socialism, they are both on the same side.
