How does the governor check the power of the judiciary?

  1. By vetoing laws

  2. By appointing judges when vacancies occur

  3. By declaring laws unconstitutional

  4. By passing legislation

The correct answer is: By appointing judges when vacancies occur

The governor is responsible for appointing judges when there are any vacancies in the judiciary. This helps maintain a balance of power between the executive and judicial branches, as the governor gets to have a say in who gets to serve as a judge. Option A is incorrect because vetoing laws is a power of the executive branch to check the legislative branch. Option C is incorrect because declaring laws unconstitutional is a power held by the judicial branch. Option D is incorrect because passing legislation is a power of the legislative branch to check the executive branch.
