The President can veto a bill and prevent it from becoming law, unless Congress has the two-thirds majority vote it needs to override the veto. The Supreme Court can't do anything to a bill.
The US Supreme Court can nullify an unconstitutional law, provided the law is challenged in court by someone with standing who has sustained significant injury due to the law, and there is a way for the court system to remediate the problem. The Supreme Court must wait until they are petitioned to review a lower court decision before they can evaluate the law.

∙ 15y agoThe judicial branch can do absolutely nothing to a "bill". A "bill" is a proposed law that is being voted on in Congress. Once that "bill" becomes a statute or law, then the judicial branch would have jurisdiction to declare the law (not the bill) unconstitutional if that issue is raised in a proper case or controversy.

∙ 12y agoThe US Constitution gives the President 10 days to sign a bill into law, or to veto it and send it back to Congress.
So what happens if he does neither?
If Congress is in session, an unsigned bill becomes law after 10 days even if the President does not sign it. If Congress adjourns before the 10 days are up, an unsigned bill dies after 10 days, a process known as the "pocket veto".
Since Congress cannot vote while it is adjourned, a pocket veto cannot be overridden.
