Which was also a law passed by Congress. Congress passes laws.

Should we also say that the president can strike down unconstitutional state laws because the Supreme Court is in the federal government?

Indeed, but this was a clear evasion of prior laws. I don't like such workarounds in principle - either Congress should have gone the proper way and go for a constitutional amendment, or it should have buried the fucking bill. This created the nasty precedent that the current admin is using to push through the SAVE Act.
