Powers of the supreme court, congress and the president?

Question

Which of the three has the most power?

Do each party have some kind of power over the other?

What decisions can one party make that does not require the consent of the one of the other two parties?

Can these parties discipline each other?

Answer 1

I'd rather be a King, and possess all of the powers of these three branches.

Answer 2

Under this model, the state is divided into branches or estates. Each with separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility. The normal division of estates is into an executive, a legislature, and a judiciary

Proponents of separation of powers believe that it protects liberty and democracy, avoiding tyranny. Opponents of separation of powers question whether it indeed does protect liberty, pointing out that it may slow down the process of governing (through gridlock and other means), promote excesses executive power and unaccountability, and tend to marginalize the legislature

This will perfectly explain the three branches of the US Federal Government:
