A limitation on the power of the president is the possibility of impeachment and removal from office.

Further Explanation:

In the United States federal government there are three branches. This includes the legislative, executive, and judicial branch. Each of these branches has specific powers that allows them to check the power of the other branches. This system is known as the system of checks and balances.

The goal of the system of checks and balances is to ensure that no one person or group has too much political power. This is why the legislative branch (aka Congress) has the ability to impeach the president. The legislative branch can only conduct this impeachment if the president has committed a crime or done something wrong.
