Any specific examples?

Question

I need a specific example of each of the following:

A specific example of a time that Congress checked the President and a specific example of a time the Supreme Court checked Congress.

If possible, it should be within the past two years, but any time is okay. Something that has actually happened, not like: "oh, well, Congress can check the Judicial Branch by doing blah blah blah." But like, a time where it really happened.

For example: President So-And-So issued Executive Order Infinity and the Supreme Court struck down this Executive Order because of this-and-this.

I don't have cable, don't have any opportunities to get a newspaper, and am not able to get to a computer often.

Could anybody give me these examples? Please and thank you! :)
