That is, a sample size of 100 in a population of 10,000 will have almost the same margin of error as a sample size of 100 in a population of 10 million.
There are many ways Congress sought to limit the power of the executive branch. These are as follows: 1) Congress can override the veto of the president; 2) Congress can refusâ¦e to confirm presidential appointments; 3) Congress can impeach the president; 4) Congress can refuse to ratify presidential treaties.
The other answers are pretty good distracters, though, because the president does have those powers. However, they are not granted to the president for the purpose of checking the power of the legislative branch. An executive order can't override congress.
