Jackson refused to obey the court's ruling
In response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v Georgia that Georgia had no right to interfere with the Cherokee, President Jackson disregarded the decision and removal of the Cherokee proceeded as planned.
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.
President Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) pushed for and signed into law the removal act, he administrated the removal for all but the last year or two of the removal; Martin Van Buren (1837- 1841) finished the work.
President Andrew Jackson.

Jackson refused to obey the court's ruling
In the case of Worcester v. Georgia (1832), the Supreme Court ruled that Georgia's laws did not apply to the Cherokee Nation and that the removal of Native Americans from their lands was unconstitutional. President Andrew Jackson disagreed with the ruling and famously said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it." Jackson refused to enforce the court's decision, leading to the forced removal of Native Americans along the Trail of Tears.
