Legislative Branch:

The Executive branch is able to influence the legislative branch through its office of legislative affairs who lobbies in favor of the President's preferred legislative agenda. It is also able to influence the Legislative branch through vetoes and threats of vetoes.

Judicial Branch:

The Executive branch is able to influence the Judicial Branch through the process of nominating judges to the branch. This usually happens through attrition, that is, when Judges retire or die. A President can then fill a spot with someone who reflects the President's judicial ideology.
