A) Congress can rewrite the law in a manner that is no longer unconstitutional

Explanation:

B is incorrect as the Supreme Court is the highest court in the land, and all federal courts must adhere to its opinions. C is incorrect as the president issues executive orders, and the Supreme Court can strike that down as well, Finally, Congress does not have a veto power, and its veto override power is only for when the President vetoes a bill.
