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.
