Selective Enforcment of Laws by the President

American government has traditionally struggled with the balance of power between Executive and Legislative branches, as the constitution allows for only two real checks on unrestrained Executive power: legislative authority on spending and impeachment. Neither of these is particularly effective in restraining "nullification by administration"--selective presidential nullification of legislation by refusal to enforce specific provisions. What legislative strategies can Congress use to ensure faithful execution of laws in the context of an uncompliant president?
