Which of the following is a “check” the federal judiciary can place on the executive branch?

Issuing injunctions
Judicial review
Impeaching the president
Confirming executive appointments
Rejecting foreign treaties

Explanation

Answer: A - An injunction is an order given by the court for another entity, in this case the executive branch, to stop something. The federal courts technically can issue an injunction on any executive branch action. Note that the answer is not “judicial review” because judicial review technically can only be in regards to laws, and is therefore a check on the legislative branch, not the executive branch.
