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
