Congress can propose an amendment to the constitution as long as there is a two thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives as well as the Senate. The only other way to propose an amendment would be through a constitutional convention with a two thirds vote from all the states' legislatures.

the legislative branch (congress)
Legislative (the House of Representatives and Senate) can propose Amendments to the Constitution. The Judicial branch's power is to declare laws unconstintutional, so if an amendment is made to the Constitution, then the law is no longer unconstitutional, thus, in a sense, overturning a decision of the Supreme Court. Congress can also deliberately write laws to circumvent Supreme Court decisions.
The Legislative Branch amends the Constitution, but not alone. Three-quarters of the states must ratify a proposed amendment.
The Legislative Branch has the power to pass laws. The Executive Branch can veto laws, and the Judicial Branch can check laws to make sure that they are constitutional (and can end them if they are not).
