It is rather simple. If Congress concludes that a President must abide by a law enacted by Congress it can always sue before the Supreme Court for a legal decision by the Supreme Court.

Yup, exactly.
It's apparently not well known that the things that Bush does, that are protrayed as SO terrible, are things that all other presidents, including the beloved Clinton, have done before him, (yes, even starting a war that was not sanctioned by the UN and with a country that was not a threat to the US). It's really weird how short people's memory and knowledge extend. They get so sucked in by what the media tells them, and seem to be unable to research anything that does not agree with their pre-held beliefs
