"Which isn't a tyrannical or inappropriate action if the president sees the act as unconstitutional."

There is nothing in the Constitution that gives a president that power.

It doesn't involve a president exercising a power, but rather a president following the law.

The constitution is the highest law of the land and the president is sworn to support and defend it.

That does not mean he has the right to decide unitarily that a law is unconsitutional.
