The government has three branches - the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The legislative branch, which is Congress, can say "no" to the President's appointments, like if they don't like his pick for Supreme Court Justice. The executive branch, led by the President, can also say "no" by vetoing or rejecting laws that Congress wants to pass.
