Although this is unlikely, the US President is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces and directs their actions. If enough members of Congress felt that the President was derelict, or incompetent, they could vote to impeach him. In the past, disagreements betwen Congress and the President have usually been resolved by discussion. The exception was the Vietnam War, essentially ended by the actions of Congress to remove the funding required for the war, leaving the Presidents (Nixon and then Ford) very few options.

How can a president override a congress bill?
He cannot. The president can veto the bill, returning it to Congress without his signature. Congress can override the President's veto by a two-thirds vote of both the House and the Senate. If the Congress overrides the President's veto, it becomes law even if he doesn't like it. If the President refuses to enforce the law, he is violating his Constitutional oath to ensure that the laws will be faithfully executed, which would be an impeachable offense. Congress could then "fire" the President by removing him from office.
What prevents Congress from passing a bill?
If a majority of Congress does not want the bill, then the bill is dead unless the committee makes changes that allows the bill to get 50%. Then it goes to the President for his signature. If the president refuses to sign, it goes back to congress. If enough members of Congress want the bill, they can override it with a two-thirds vote.
What check does the president have on legislation?
For a bill to become a law, the president must sign it. When the president refuses, it's cal the power of "veto." Otherwise congress must overrule the veto with an 2/3 majority vote.
