The Supreme Court enforces its rulings through the power of judicial review. If the Court declares that a law or action by Congress or the President is unconstitutional, it becomes binding on all parties involved.

How might a president limited the power of the Supreme Court?
"the court has made its decision, now let them try to enforce it". This may not answer the question fully, but as the court has no way to enforce its decisions, it depends on the President to enforce it for them. I recall school issue of segregation in the south when Eisenhouer sent federal troops to ensure the blacks entered white schools. If he had not, the courts order would not have been enforced by the states in that region. Recently, a federal judge ruled on "dont ask dont tell". If the President didnt agree with the courts ruling, and neither did the military. who would enforce the courts order?

How is judicial power exercised?
To the extent the court issuing an order is recognized as legitimate, the court has power because either people agree to comply with its decisions or because the holder of a court order can get police or military to enforce the decision. A court whose decisions cannot be enforced is a nullity; it has no judicial power. A U.S. president once decided to defy the Supreme Court over an issue by saying that if the Chief Justice decided the way he did and the President won't go along, "where are the Court's troops to enforce the order?"
