The Constitution’s system of checks and balances is the three branches of government. The Legislative, composed of the House and Senate, is set up in Article 1. The Executive, composed of the President, Vice-President, and the Departments, is set up in Article 2. The Judicial, composed of the federal courts and the Supreme Court, is set up in Article 3.

Pretty ironic considering that enlistment and commissioning oaths are to support and defend it against all enemies. foreign and domestic.
