The Judicial Branch can declare a Presidential Order (called an Executive Order) unconstitutional. While the US Supreme Court is the final arbiter of constitutionality, even US District Courts can overturn an Executive Order, as was the case with President Obama's moratorium on deep water drilling in the Gulf. The lower court's decision may be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, but in this instance it wasn't.
