"But what Hamilton is writing about is the lesser known check of the President over the Supreme Court as outlined in Articles II and III of the Constitution. The Supreme Court is dependent upon the Executive Branch, as is the Congress, to "execute" their wishes. Nothing gets done unless the President agrees."
