veto
Congress has the ability to overrule the President's veto power with a 2/3 majority vote. Furthermore, Congress has the power to impeach the President, and must confirm the President's choices (i.e. appointment of the Supreme Court, etc.). Congress checks the Supreme Court in a few ways as well. First of all, it has to confirm the President's appointments of Supreme Court judges. It also has the power, once again, of impeachment, and has the ability to amend the Constitution.
can purpose amendments to the constitution to overturn a supreme court decision
The supreme court can't make laws since that is the role of the legislature. Nor can it execute laws.
The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, which all government officials swear to uphold. Supreme Court decisions are subordinate to constitutional amendments, and represent one of the few ways a Supreme Court decision can be changed.
No. The president has no direct part in amending the Constitution. He can lobby for Constitutional changes and if given the opportunity, can nominate Supreme Court justices who may interpret the Constitution in ways that amount that amount to changes.

amendments, disputes and new laws
The President, or the "Executive Branch", as its called, proposes laws - which Congress (the "Legislative Branch") then can either act on or ignore. Its the Supreme Court (the "Judicial Branch") that acts to 'check' the powers of Congress, by the ability to overturn laws that are unconstitutional. The President nominates Supreme Court justices, who then have to be approved by the Senate, so its a big circular power exchange.... The Executive Branch has a number of ways to control the powers of Congress. There is the Presidential veto. There is the appointment of judges and other Federal officers.
Congress can check the executive branch in a number of ways. It can override a presidential veto with a 2/3 majority. It also reviews (and subsequently confirms or denies) presidential appointments (e.g. to the Supreme Court). It also controls the national budget, and - perhaps most importantly - it has the power of impeachment, through which it can remove the President from office.
