No. A law cannot amend the Constitution.
Period.
The Judiciary can and does throw out laws passed and signed by the other two branches, and actions by the Executive that have legislative approval if they are not authorized by the Constitution.

Well...if they did in fact pass a law authorizing this change in policy it would be constitutional, even if bad law. The point is that they didn’t pass a law authorizing this and the President just created the legislation through ‘executive’ action.
