The president appoints the justices of the Supreme Court. His decision of a justice will shape the Court for years (possibly decades) to come. Recall FDR's "Court Packing" scheme from his presidency.

Have American Presidents disobeyed the USA's Supreme Court?
There is a checks and balance system for a reason. A President cannot go against the Supreme Court's decisions, if not simply because the Supreme Court decides what is Constitutional and what is not. As a President, they cannot go against that. Every President, from George Washington to Barrack Obama, took an oath to uphold the Constitution. A President can be impeached for acting against the Constitution. In reality, both the President and Congress sometimes delay acting or fail to fully enforce a Supreme Court decision. This was most notable during the civil rights movement with regard to desegregation, especially before Congress passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968.
