Content: Congress may impeach an official from the judicial branch, or
the executive branch, for abusing their power. However, the
judicial branch holds the trial. How can the executive branch affect the performance of the judicial branch? The Executive Branch can affect the performance of the Judicial
Branch because each judge appointed to the Judicial Branch is put
there by the Executive Branch. What two powers does the Legislative branch have over the Judicial branch? I would argue that the Legislative branch has at least two
important powers over the judicial branch: 1) the ability to
approve or reject presidential nominations for judicial office; 2)
the power of impeachment over federal judges and justices. How can the judicial branch challenge the powers of the legislative and executive branch? The Judicial branch has what is known as Judicial Review, which means the Judicial Branch may invalidate laws made by the Legislative branch and executive orders made by the Executive branch that it determines is unconstitutional.
