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.
If the Supreme Court makes a decision that contradicts the Constitution of the United States who can overrule the Court?
The Supreme Court determines what contradicts the Constitution. So it supposedly isn't possible for them to rule against it. If people don't like the decision of the Supreme Court, they can pass laws and/or amend the Constitution to change it. Congress would be who would overrule it, particularly members who were there when they passed whatever law. The Court is not allowed to put words in the mouth of Congress.

What happens if a Supreme Court decision is not followed by lower courts?
Maybe nothing. If a party to the decision appeals, the lower court could get overturned. Also, if in a subsequent case a party relies on the lower court decision, a court could choose not to follow it or a higher court could overturn it.If the supreme court makes a ruling, lower courts are obliged to follow it. Any judge who fails to do so can find his rulings overturned. Basically, that means the losing side can go to another judge, point out that the first judge's decision contradicts the supreme court, and ask to have that decision set aside.One of the most important factors in a judicial system is consistency - laws need to be applied in the same way everywhere they are applied.
