This action by the president is called a "veto". The word is Latin for "I forbid". The word "veto" does not actually appear in the US Constitution but has come to mean the President's right to block legislation that has been passed by Congress. (Congress can override a veto by passing the law again by a 2/3 majority.) One might also say that the President is exercising his veto power.
The president is able to veto a law that Congress wants to pass which basically means he won't let it be passed. However, Congress can override the president's veto by voting if the law should be passed. They must get a 2/3 vote by Congress

According to the Constitution of the United States, the President cannot write legislation, or impose taxes upon the people. Congress is where these powers lay and once passed by both Houses of Congress the President can sign the legislation or veto it. In recent years, the President has been taking some of this power away from Congress and issuing legislation through Executive Orders. Executive Orders is an allowed power given to the President to take action required immediately necessary due to items such as Acts of War or Natural Disasters when Congress is not in session or could not be gathered quick enough to take action. This was done at a time when it took weeks to cross the country but has been taken as an act to bypass Congress when the action would no pass through Congress using the Constitutional methods.

Congress can legislate an act of war. But it is reserved to the military, itself, and its Commander-in-Chief (the President of the US) to determined when and how many troops will be deployed.
