The federal Judicial Branch, consisting of the US District Courts, the US Court of International Trade, the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts and the US Supreme Court can declare acts of Congress unconstitutional, but only if the act has already been signed into law and is relevant to a case before the court.
The US Supreme Court is head of the Judicial Branch and is the ultimate authority on constitutionality.
