When the executive branch refuses to sign a bill, it is being vetoed. I goes back to the Legislative branch where the senate votes. If 2/3 of the senate votes it is a law. If less than 2/3 of the senate votes for it, it remains not a law.

The power to refuse to sign a bill is called, 'veto power'. The president can either refuse to sign the bill and give a reason why, or just ignore the bill and let it expire without giving any reasons for the refusal. The second method of refusing a bill is called a, 'pocket veto'.
