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.
Have American Presidents disobeyed the USA's Supreme Court?
There is a checks and balance system for a reason. A President cannot go against the Supreme Court's decisions, if not simply because the Supreme Court decides what is Constitutional and what is not. As a President, they cannot go against that. Every President, from George Washington to Barrack Obama, took an oath to uphold the Constitution. A President can be impeached for acting against the Constitution. In reality, both the President and Congress sometimes delay acting or fail to fully enforce a Supreme Court decision. This was most notable during the civil rights movement with regard to desegregation, especially before Congress passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968.
Why doesn't the US President have the authority to reverse a Supreme Court decision?

If the President had that kind of "veto authority" over a Supreme Court decision he (or she) would effectively control two branches of the government and would be vested with too much power.
