What can the US Supreme Court do if the President enforces a law?

Nothing. Creating and vetoing laws is part of the legislative process, which is the responsibility of Congress and the President, respectively. The Constitution does not grant the Supreme Court any power to make law or to override a veto.
If a law is successfully passed, then challenged in court, the Supreme Court can determine whether the law is constitutional under their right of "judicial review," and can nullify the law if they determine it to be unconstitutional, but that is the extent of the Court's formal involvement in the legislative process.

The Supreme Court can use judicial review to determine whether challenged laws are constitutional, but has no enforcement power nor power to prevent enforcement of an unconstitutional statute or policy.

The executive branch enforces the law, while the judicial branch interprets the law. Congress only makes the laws.
How does the Supreme Court enforce a ruling that contradicts Congress or the President?
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. The Court relies on the cooperation and respect of the other branches to enforce its decisions, but it does not have its own enforcement mechanisms.
If the US President approves a law does it go to US Supreme Court?
No, the Supreme Court has no part of the law making process. If someone challenges the validity of a law, it may end up in the Supreme Court.
Does the President make the law while the Supreme Court enforces the law?
No. The Constitution authorizes the Legislative branch (Congress) to create bills, which only become laws after the President signs them. The Constitution grants the President veto power (he can say no) as a check on the power of Congress. But Congress can override the President's veto if they can muster a two-thirds (super-majority) vote, which is a check on the power of the President.The Supreme Court evaluates laws for Constitutionality, but only if someone who is affected by the law is directly, personally and significantly damaged by it and there is some way the court system can address the problem and provide a solution. In most instances, the case must progress through a trial court, exhaust all of its lower court appeals, and petition the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari (request the Court review the case) before the Supreme Court can make any determination. If no one ever presents a case challenging a law, the Supreme Court has no recourse to overturn it as unconstitutional. Declaring laws unconstitutional is a check on the power of Congress.If the Court does find a law unconstitutional and nullifies the law, responsibility for enforcement passes to the President (the Court can't enforce its rulings). The Supreme Court does not make laws directly; their rulings shape laws indirectly. They do not participate in the Legislative (law making) process. This is a check on the power of the Supreme Court.The Legislative ProcessCongress passes billsThe President approves or disapproves of the billIf the President approves, he (or she) signs the bill into lawThe Judicial ProcessThe Supreme Court may eventually get to review the law for constitutionalityIf the Supreme Court decides the law is unconstitutional, they can nullify itThe President is responsible for enforcing the Supreme Court's decision

Can the president overide the us supreme court?
no... Once the U. S. Supreme Court makes a decision in the interpretation of a law or a part of the Constitution, a precedent is set, and their decision holds the same weight as the original law. The President can no more overturn a Supreme Court decision than he/she can make a new law without Congress. The President can, however, sign into law a bill that has passed both houses of Congress that repeals or modifies a law or Constitutional clause on which a Supreme Court decision has been rendered, thereby, in effect, overriding the Supreme Court.
