The president is able to check power of congress by

a. vetoing laws passed by congress.

b. filibustering bills to prevent a vote.

c. preventing bills from being sent to commitee

d. setting the rule of congress debate

Correct  A.  vetoing laws passed by Congress.

This is a significant power in the hands of the President.  Congressional decision making is affected by the knowledge that in both houses of Congress, a two-thirds majority will be needed to override the President's veto.  Historically, Congress has been able to override less than 10% of presidential vetoes.  So Congress will seek to make sure they have sufficient votes before proceeding with passage of a bill into law ...  unless they want to pass the legislation simply as a statement of principle, knowing they don't have the votes to override a veto.

the most famous of all the units fighting in cuba, the "rough riders" was the name given to the first u.s. volunteer cavalry under the leadership of theodore roosevelt. roosevelt resigned his position as assistant secretary of the navy in may 1898 to join the volunteer cavalry. the original plan for this unit called for filling it with men from the indian territory, new mexico, arizona, and oklahoma. however, once roosevelt joined the group, it quickly became the place for a mix of troops ranging from ivy league athletes to glee-club singers to texas rangers and indians.
