President of the country and the congress possess some unique right and they were elected by the people who use their basic right of voting. Balancing of that power and rights will be done through distribution of it among various authorities like state and federal government. So the party wants to censure the judgment or decision of court, an amendment with rectification should be made by them under article V with 2/3 of votes from the both houses. And now for the bill to pass it need a 2/3 vote from the party and 3/4 of states.
