President Andrew Jackson was the official who approved of the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
There were five major tribes: the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole. The Cherokee challenged the Indian Removal Act in the courts of the United States. It made its way up to the Supreme Court where it went under the supervision of John Marshall. He ruled the favor to the Cherokee. Note the Supreme Court could make the ruling but cannot enforce it, only the executive branch (the president) has the power to do so.
The president at that time, Andrew Jackson ignored the decision of the Supreme Court and stilled removed the Indians from their land.
