Once a law is a "law" it can be repealed by Congress or overturned by the Supreme Court, if it's unconstitutional.
If it hasn't yet become a law, it's just called a "bill." Laws are bills that passed votes in both houses of Congress and were then signed into law by the President.
There lots of things that can prevent a bill from becoming law. If either the House of Representatives or US Senate (or both) can't muster enough votes, the bill won't become law. The bill could be sent to a House or Senate committee and die there; or it could be killed on the Senate floor if a Senator filibusters and the bill sponsors can't get enough votes to break the filibuster. The President could veto it outright, or he could stop the bill with a "pocket veto," which means Congress sends the bill to the President less than ten days before a recess, and he neither signs it nor returns it to Congress before they go out on break.
