Question

The president of the United States is the head of the executive branch and plays a large role in making America's laws. His job is to approve the laws that Congress creates. When both chambers have approved a bill, they send it to the president. In order for the bill to become law, the president must sign it into law. The president can decide not to sign a bill if he does not want it to become law.

What is it called when the president refuses to sign a bill into law?

A refusal
B veto ******
C denial
D rejection

B I think please help

Answer 2

You are correct.

Answer 3

A veto is usually an active decision, though, not just refusing to sign a bill into law. The president usually actively vetoes and explains why, sometimes asking the Congress to rework the bill so it becomes more acceptable, sometimes just rejecting it, period.
