No provision of the US Constitution can be legally overturned by a presidential decree.

    Scott vs Sandford decision led directly to the 13th and 14th amendment which overruled that same decision.

    The due process clause of the 14th amendment prohibited local governments of depriving citizens from life, liberty or property without a due process.

    So yeah, 14th amendment does restrict the government, and has been made to overrule the Scott vs Sandford Supreme Court ruling.
