Preemption occurs when a law/statute/ordinance at a higher level of governmental authority overrides a similar law/statute/ordinance at a lower level of authority. For example, a federal law preempts a state law that covers the same subject.

The Supremacy Clause. Someone else said: Preemption Clause of the Constitution makes the federal law trump state law but it does not necessarily render the state law invalid unless following state law would violate the federal law.
What is federal supremacy and preemption?
Federal supremacy and preemption refers to the idea that all state and local laws must not conflict with federal law. If there is a conflict, the federal law is considered the supreme law and it always supersedes the state or local law. An example would be if there was no state law prohibiting the dumping of toxic waste into a river, but there are federal laws prohibiting water pollution, then the federal law would take precedence and the dumping has to be stopped and the river has to be cleaned up. The only way to effectively overcome federal supremacy is to demonstrate that the federal law is in itself unconstitutional and therefore illegal. In that case, the federal law would be struck down by the court, and the state law would be the authority.
