Federal courts possess inherent authority to punish contempt, which is the disobedience of a court order. This can be either civil contempt (failing to comply with an order) or criminal contempt (disrespecting the court's authority). Civil contempt can involve fines and even incarceration, while criminal contempt can lead to fines, imprisonment, or both. Congress can intervene by amending or repealing the statutes that the President is using to justify ignoring the court's order. This allows Congress to establish the legal framework under which the executive branch must operateA President's willful disregard of court orders could be viewed as a failure to "faithfully execute the laws" as required by Article II of the Constitution, potentially leading to impeachment proceedings. In cases of government defiance, the court can seek the assistance of other federal agencies, like the U.S. Marshals, to enforce its orders. In extreme cases, the court might even appoint other law enforcement officials to enforce its rulings
