must consult with the Congress. Therefore, the Executive action must be in consultation
with the Legislature. This depicts the control of Congress over the Executive.
Furthermore, the validity of the budget is determined by the Congress (as they vote on it).
The President can veto the laws or Bills by the Congress. In this regard, the Executive
exercises control over the Congress.
The Congress has power to determine expulsion and punishment of its members. In this
regard, the Congress is the sole and final judge. The Judiciary does not have any
adjudicatory authority.
Impeachment proceedings of President are initiated before the Senate. The Legislature
controls these matters.
