This is not checks and balance. This is extortion by a reckless minority and one member of the congress albeit it's misguided leader holding up a vote.
For a system of checks and balances to work, both houses needs to vote and then the president signs or vetoes. A veto then can be overturned. If the republicans really believe in democracy, how come they don't have the guts to have a vote in the house? They would lose and everyone knows it. So it's stupidity and cowardice at work here.
