    This almost happened with Andrew Jackson. He is quoted as saying “now let’s see them enforce it” (or something like that, I don’t feel like looking it up) and he pretty much told the SCOTUS at the time they have no power. Congress has the purse, President has the sword, judiciary has nothing.

    His cabinet ended up convincing him that the establishment of the USA depends on him following the orders of the court, and he ended up backing down.
