Abrogating the will of the peoples representatives.

If you ask this question "what is it called when the president refuses a bill" it is called a veto!!!
The president can veto a bill. If a president refuses to sign a bill into law, it will become a law in 10 days after it was approved by congress.

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'.

The executive branch power to refuse to sign a bill into law is called a veto. The president's veto can be overridden by a two thirds vote of the Senate.
