Congress cannot directly overrule the Supreme Court's decision in Texas v. Johnson, which affirmed the right to burn the American flag as a form of free speech under the First Amendment. However, Congress can enact legislation that could limit or regulate flag desecration, provided it aligns with constitutional standards. Such legislation would likely face legal challenges and scrutiny to ensure it does not violate the First Amendment rights upheld by the Supreme Court. Ultimately, the judiciary would have the final say on the constitutionality of any new laws.
