Why does Congress have the right to pass law reversing Supreme Court decisions like Ward's Cove?
Once the Supreme Court sets a precedent in its interpretation of a certain law, that decision becomes the pattern by which future tests of the same law must be judged. Therefore, if Congress passes a law that is contrary to a Supreme Court decision, and a case involving that law comes before the Supreme Court, the Court should strike it down based on the established precedent.
Does a bill become law when it is passed by Congress and then judged constitutional by the Supreme Court or when it is passed by Congress and then signed by the President?
A bill is signed by the President, it is not approved by the US Supreme Court.When a bill is passed by congress, the president has 3 choices. He can sign it (pass it), leave it for 10 days (after 10 days it automatically becomes a law), or veto it. If he veto's it is sent back to congress, and if 2/3 of congress votes that yes, it should be a law, it still becomes a law, even without the presidents approval. This is called override. Then after a bill is a law, any citizen 18 or over can rule that the law is unconstitutional. This is where the supreme court comes in. Other than that the supreme court has notheing to do with a billl becoming a law.

Required for what? There are no constitutional mandates governing the number of justices seated on the Supreme Court; such details were left to Congress.

A quorum of the current Supreme Court requires at least six justices to hear and decide a case.
