The President can sign a bill into law, but the Supreme Court can declare it unconstitutional.

It was originally designed with this objective in mind, but with signing statements and the appointment of executive-deferential members like Alito to the court, the judiciary has lost much of its power. Still, recent decisions like Hamdi indicate the court still has teeth.

Yes, assuming the president doesn't have them all in his pocket.
