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.

What branch can propose amendments to overrule judicial decisions?
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.
Why can amendments to the Constitution negate Supreme Court decisions?
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.
