Solution

The executive branch checks (or controls) the legislative branch primarily by vetoing laws. This means that if the legislative branch (Congress in the U.S.) passes a law, the executive branch (the President in the U.S.) has the power to reject this law. This is a key aspect of the system of checks and balances in the U.S. government.

However, it's important to note that the executive branch does not have the power to declare laws unconstitutional. This is the role of the judicial branch (the Supreme Court in the U.S.).

Also, the executive branch does not have the power to pass laws over veto. If the President vetoes a law, Congress can override this veto with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Finally, the executive branch does not control the salaries of the legislative branch. The salaries of members of Congress are determined by law and not subject to the approval of the President.
