Power of oversight

Explanation:

: Legislative power is one of the three powers (legislative, judicial and executive) described by Montesquieu. These powers are independent of each other but must be in balance. The supervisory power refers to the power of the legislature to supervise the actions of the president to prevent abuse of power or actions beyond those established by the Constitution. In addition to the power to oversee the executive (president), the legislature is responsible for formulating the laws. It is important to oversee the president's actions so that there is no abuse of power while president.
