The president who famously said, "The court has made its decision; now let them enforce it," was President Andrew Jackson. This statement is often attributed to his response to the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia in 1832, which favored the rights of Native Americans. Jackson's remark highlighted his refusal to enforce the court's decision, reflecting the tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary during his presidency.
President Jackson did not enforce the 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.
"the court has made its decision, now let them try to enforce it". This may not answer the question fully, but as the court has no way to enforce its decisions, it depends on the President to enforce it for them. I recall school issue of segregation in the south when Eisenhouer sent federal troops to ensure the blacks entered white schools. If he had not, the courts order would not have been enforced by the states in that region. Recently, a federal judge ruled on "dont ask dont tell". If the President didnt agree with the courts ruling, and neither did the military. who would enforce the courts order?

President Andrew Jackson refused to enforce the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), which recognized the Cherokee Nation as a sovereign entity. Jackson's administration largely ignored the decision, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokee people, known as the Trail of Tears. His defiance of the Court's authority exemplified the tensions between federal and state power during that era.
President Eisenhower did not agree with the decision of the Supreme Court in Brown vs Board of Education that educational institutions in the South were unequal and segregation hurt students who did not get an "equal" education. He felt the decision was a mistake. But, as President he was sworn to uphold the law and enforce the law. Eisenhower was a constitutionalist and to him, the Court's ruling had the force of law. Governor Faubus of Arkansas was defying the Court's order so Eisenhower took over command of the National Guard and ordered troops to enforce the integration of Central High School.
President Andrew Jackson is often cited as a president who disobeyed a Supreme Court decision. In 1832, the Court ruled in Worcester v. Georgia that the state could not impose its laws on Native American lands. Jackson reportedly responded by refusing to enforce the ruling, famously stating, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," highlighting the tensions between federal authority and state actions during his presidency.
This would essentially put the supreme court under the president and let him decide the constitutionality of laws if Congress agreed with him. However if the opposition controlled Congress, the president might fire the whole court and Congress might refuse to confirm his new appointments and chaos would result.
