      It's a fundamental principle of our system that a law that violates Constitution IS void; not made void by SCOTUS. See Marbury v. Madison.

      But in PRACTICAL sense that is not true. It is enforced, it goes to court and continues until SCOTUS or other court strikes it down

      A law does not have to be enforced—and, in fact, should not be enforced—if the executive branch believes it is unconstitutional.

      But that is the extent of their power/discretion. They are otherwise bound to uphold the law.

      The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Executive branch must determine constitutionality in course of carrying out its functions.

      Derives from each branch's need to carry out its functions under the Constitution. Constitution confers no special authority on any branch.

      There are no such clauses for any of the branches.

          You must be kidding. You're the one treating it as a "living" doc. You think judicial power is a special delegation of interpretive power.

          Yes, as I've said, and so does legislative power and executive power.

          You can't point to such a clause for the judicial branch, because, as I've said, there are no such clauses.

          Where does it say "interpretive"?
