Checks and balances between Congress and the president are intended to limit the potential powers of both.
The job of the president is to enforce the laws. The job of Congress is to legislate laws. Together they do the business of the government. The president doesn't share power with congress, but has his own duties. Congress checks his power by not passing laws, not approving appointments, approving the budget or not, and he needs approval of congress to declare war. Constitution tries to make a balance of power between the branches. Sometimes one branch will try to gain more power from other branches. Watergate changed the office of the president and it's power.
The balance of power between the three branches of government is even, since the founding fathers wrote checks and balances into the Constitution. The congress makes the laws, which can be vetoed by the president. The congress can over rule the president, and the judicial system can rule the laws unconstitutional.

Such is the law. It would upset the balance of power, if Congress could cut the President's salary.
That is to limit Congress' power to make laws, part of the balance of powers.
Yes, he can veto laws passed in Congress, but then Congress can vote again, and if they get a sufficient number of votes, can override the president's veto.
it is when the president can get over ruled by congress if 2/3 of the congress pass the law and the president vetos it it is still passed because it makes sure the president dosent have to much power and that he or she can be over ruled
