    This document contains Cornell notes on the three branches of the US government - legislative, executive, and judicial. The legislative branch can impeach the president, override a veto, declare war, and approve treaties and judges. The executive branch can appoint Supreme Court judges, veto bills, and enforce court orders. The judicial branch can declare laws and acts unconstitutional. The notes explain how each branch acts as a check and balance on the others' powers.
