Andrew Jackson famously defied the Supreme Court's decision regarding the unconstitutionality of Georgia's Indian removal laws. He reportedly said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," implying that he would not take action to uphold the ruling. This response exemplified his commitment to Indian removal policies, leading to the forced relocation of Native American tribes, most notably the Trail of Tears. Jackson’s actions highlighted the tension between the executive branch and the judiciary during his presidency.

The president does not have the power to declare a law unconstitutional - that power belongs to the Supreme Court. Other presidents have vetoed bills passed by Congress before they became law because the president believed they were unconstitutional. Obama has decided to direct his justice department not to enforce certain immigration laws and the defense of marriage act which he does not agree with. Other presidents have been lax about enforcing some laws and court rulings, Andrew Jackson for one.
