He cannot. The president can veto the bill, returning it to Congress without his signature. Congress can override the President's veto by a two-thirds vote of both the House and the Senate. If the Congress overrides the President's veto, it becomes law even if he doesn't like it.
If the President refuses to enforce the law, he is violating his Constitutional oath to ensure that the laws will be faithfully executed, which would be an impeachable offense. Congress could then "fire" the President by removing him from office.

No -- Congress cannot veto bills but they can override a presidents veto.( I am slightly confused by the wording of this question but I think I know the answer you are looking for. Congress creates bills and if the bill passes congress it then goes to the president. Ususally when you think of Congress you only think of voting on whether or not the bill should be seen and approved by the president. The president is the only person that can veto bills. If the president does veto the bill it can be sent back to congress for another vote to override the president's veto. With that vote 2/3 of congress have to pass it in order for it to become a law. At that point it is unlikely to override the president however, it is possible. )However, Congress can pass new legislation that repeals a previous bill that was signed by the President.
