Which of the following is an executive check on the powers of the judicial branch of government? 1) enforces term limits for Supreme Court justices
2) presides over Senate during hearing to impeach the president
3) casts tie-breaking vote if the Supreme Court cannot reach a verdict
4) nominates Supreme Court justices and federal judges

4). nominates Supreme Court justices and federal judges.

Explanation:

The 'nomination of judges of Supreme Court, as well as, the federal judges' demonstrates the inspection of the executive branch over the judicial branch. However, the judicial branch is given the freedom to 'transcribe or expound the laws of the state,' 'determining the constitutionality of the laws,' 'safeguarding the individual rights and punishing the violators,' etc. The executive branch keeps an overview of the appropriate functioning of the work by holding the authority of appointing the chief justices and federal judges. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.
