Original Message The consitution specifically says that the President must enforce all laws and the Consitution. It is done through the "Take Care Clause".

This clause is meant to ensure that a law is faithfully executed by the president[40] even if he disagrees with the purpose of that law.[43] Addressing the North Carolina ratifying convention, William Maclaine declared that the Faithful Execution Clause was "one of the [Constitution's] best provisions."[41] If the president "takes care to see the laws faithfully executed, it will be more than is done in any government on the continent; for I will venture to say that our government, and those of the other states, are, with respect to the execution of the laws, in many respects mere ciphers."[41] President George Washington interpreted this clause as imposing on him a unique duty to ensure the execution of federal law. Discussing a tax rebellion, Washington observed, "it is my duty to see the Laws executed: to permit them to be trampled upon with impunity would be repugnant to [that duty.]"[4

The Constitution says that:

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

Therefore no governor can prohibit the free exercise thereof.

With these two clauses the President must enforce the Constitution and can override the governors.
