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.


WHO MAKES THE FINAL DECISION NO OTHER COURT CAN OVERRULE THOSE DECISIONS?

The final decision in a case typically rests with the Supreme Court of a country, which serves as the highest court in the judicial system. In the United States, for example, the Supreme Court's rulings cannot be overruled by any other court, making it the ultimate authority on constitutional interpretation and federal law. Once the Supreme Court has made a decision, it sets a binding precedent that lower courts must follow.


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.
